Move over boring borders (looking at you, boxwood); we’ve got edible shrubs that will increase biodiversity, create layering, and become a delicious addition to your landscaping. Christina Chung from Vancouver is on a mission. She wants to get us to embrace shrubs which offer many benefits for the garden.
While there’s no need to stick to just one type or variety, in her book The Layered Edible GardenShe explains that a mixed informal hedge can be an attractive year-round feature, save time and money, and provide shelter for birds. When these plants are given space and time to fill out naturally, you’ll get to appreciate their unique, natural forms—in other words, we’re giving full permission to skip the pruning. Here are Christina’s five favorites to consider.
