Welcome to our edible garden

We've had a garden throughout our lives, an organic one for the last 15 years or so.

We've enjoyed the fresh, delicious produce, and we've appreciated saving some money.

Even more important, we were able to provide at least some fruits and vegetables that were so delicious even our kids couldn't resist eating. Besides, it was fun to plant seeds and watch them grow.

Only in the last few years, though, have we come to understand our garden's even greater importance.

Using at least some of our land to grow our own food provides many environmental benefits, helps preserve and create our local foodshed, and helps create a resilient community.

We invite you to explore our website by:

In addition to this website, if you're in Central New York, you're welcome to join us at Edible Gardening Central New York, where we learn more about edible gardening from local experts and from each other.

We hope the experiences and information we share in this website will inspire you to create your own edible garden and help you make it productive.
