Long, Skinny Garden? Hear How We Tweak This Space
From Lush Ornamental Foliage to Lush Edible Leaves
Not sure what to do with a long, skinny, straight-edged garden beside a driveway, patio, or building?
In this episode, we take a long, slender ornamental garden and reimagine the space with edible plants.
The garden we’re thinking about is actually a little sliver of the Joan of Arc Garden in Quebec City. But these same ideas work well in in many home-garden situations.
We talk about:
Crop ideas (kales, Thai basil, borage, shiso, and fern-leaf parsley)
Groupings vs. individual plants
Urns for adding height an interest in this skinny space
Plants that last into the fall vs. plants that fade with fall weather
