- Edible Landscaping, by Senga Lindsay (Harbour Publishing, 128 pages) $19.95
GROWING plants that are beautiful to look at and ones that you can eat doesn't mean you need to divide your garden in half.
There are many herbs and vegetables that have visual appeal. Colours, leaf shape and flowers of great variety are available helping you to enjoy their development and later the harvest.
North Vancouverbased landscape architect Senga Lindsay draws from her 25 years of experience to help you create a backyard landscape that satisfies form and function. After introducing the initial decisions for layout, budget, how much time you have to maintain it and understanding your garden site, Lindsay provides 15 designs for your consideration.
In each case she includes an illustration of the layout, suggested plantings, designer tips and photographs of examples.
From traditional rows to rooftops and wall gardens, Lindsay gives you plenty to think about for your own design.
