More about edible landscaping
The late winter 2012 issue of our Roots & Sprouts newsletter had an article on edible landscaping. Liz Gourley gave a talk at the library in June 2012 about edible landscaping. She and others provided these resources:
- Fedco Trees: fruit trees, stone fruit, berries
- Trees of Antiquity: heirloom fruit trees
- Raintree Nursery: berries and vines
- Henry Leuthardt Nurseries: espalier and cordons
- Oikos Tree Crops of Michigan: a variety of edible landscape plants
