Edible Yards

Here’s another edible landscape from our trip to Ohio:

Onions are planted in front of one of the cutest, most creative strawbale cottages ever! Onions, garlic and leeks are a fabulous and spikey addition to any edible landscape. Their foliage and flowers are beautiful and add lots of green color to the landscape and food for the table throughout the fall, winter and early spring in Central Texas.

This strawbale house exists as a sustainability demonstration project at the George Jones Memorial Farm of Oberlin College in Oberlin, Ohio. The yard is average-sized and contains a series of lovely, raised bed vegetable and fruit gardens lined with native stone.

Garlic is hung to cure (or dry) inside the strawbale house which also serves as the farm office
