What a visit can feel like

Ediblescapes invites people into a living public garden where food, learning and shared care grow together through observation, participation and seasonal change.

What you can experience

Ediblescapes is not a formal botanic garden or fenced community garden. It is a living community edible forest garden where people can experience layered planting, pruning, mulching, edible species, seasonal change, and the social life of a shared public garden.
