Edible-fy your Landscape
www.MissionEden.net
1. Beautify Space
We’ll help you turn bare
earth and desolate land
into a thriving abundant
ecosystem. Edible peren-
nials and food crops can
be extremely beautiful and
are often more vibrant than
shrubs and plants often
selected for landscaping
outside business. Many of
these have thores or poison
berries and send a “warn-
ing” call while edible food
plants invite people in with
a smile.
2. Healthy Food
Lack of access to
healthy fresh fruits
and vegetables is
a problem in our
community. The
Growing Civic Fruit
campaign makes
more fresh fruits and
vegetables available
to those who choose
to harvest. Harvest is
free and small signs
will promote ethical
harvesting.
3. Growing Art
Edible landscaping in
civic space - where
people gather, do busi-
ness, meet, and play
- is a form of public art.
With soil as our can-
vas we grow reds and
purples and yellows
and whites. Our art
comes to life, grows,
and inspires many who
come in contact with
it. We are reimagining
the commons, growing
civic fruit.
fruitfully yours

Four Steps to A Food Forest at Your Place

site together.

business or place?
2. Is water accessible to help plants
get established?
3. Is the location in full sun, shade,
part-sun?
4. What are your goals and/or con-
cerns for yoru edible landscape?
2. Select Plants
We’ll look at a list of
edible plants suitable
for our climate and
your location and
select the ones that
work best to address
your edible landscap-
ing goals.
3. Host Workparty
Let the Apple Corp plant
an artful edible garden.
Join in the fun! We’ll
schedule a workparty
date on a Saturday that

mutual ability to maintain
your edible landscaping.
