Transcript

You can easily incorporate food-producing plants into any sunny yard, and turn it into an edible landscape. All it takes is a little planning.

Rather than planting traditional shrubs, choose plants like hardy rosemary or pineapple guava. That way you can enjoy the way they look and taste.

The next time you’re ready to add new trees, consider ones that will bear fruit or nuts, like a peach or a pecan tree.

You can easily tuck in a variety of tasty herbs among other plants in your landscape beds.

Always do your homework so that you’ll choose plants that are suited for your area and the care you can provide.

Florida-Friendly Landscaping™ in a Minute is a production of the University of Florida’s Florida-Friendly Landscaping™ Program, IFAS Extension, and WUFT-FM in cooperation with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection.
