Houzz Call: Home Farmers, Show Us Your Edible Garden
We want to see where you grow tomatoes, salad greens and beautiful berries are growing – surprise us with an out-there spot!
Edible gardens flourish during the summer, and farmers markets seem to overflow with fresh fruits and vegetables. We want to know – what does your edible garden look like right now? Are your herbs, vegetables and fruits thriving? Do you have a backyard, balcony or rooftop garden? Are you growing your edibles in decorative planter boxes or right in the ground?
Homeowners: Post photos to the Comments that show us what you’re growing and where – silverbeet on the roof, herbs on the balcony, or tomatoes in your suburban backyard, your country garden or even at the back of a ramshackle ute!
Professionals: Have you designed any edible gardens for your clients? Upload a picture to the Comments and tell us what makes them work for your clients.
