This issue of APLD California Landscape Design magazine celebrates the art of edible landscaping, where beauty and nourishment intertwine. From espaliered fruit trees to pollinator-rich planting beds that yield color and cuisine, we examine how thoughtfully designed spaces can feed body and soul.
Featured projects highlight landscapes whose impact extends beyond aesthetics—such as a culinary garden that fostered neighborhood community and the transformation of suburban yards into abundant, edible sanctuaries. Vivid photography, paired with the experiential wisdom of our fellow APLD members, draws us into these living compositions, capturing the textures, palettes, and seasonal rhythms of gardens designed to be savored.
