We, at Paradise, are concerned about food security
issues (learn
more), especially since our landbase is an island! There are
a
lot of great reasons to have vegetables and native edible
plants growing right in your own yard. There is no comparison in terms
of freshness, and there is a pure satisfaction in picking your own
salad greens right before a dinner party! Organic vegetables are
getting more expensive, and having your own garden can be a large
source of savings. Tending a vegetable garden is
a meditation in many
ways, and we can work with you to ensure that your veggie patch will be
a source of pleasure, not something that feels like a chore. Whether
you are a long-time gardener or would like our help getting
started, we can prepare your raised beds and answer your questions.
With irrigation
installed, you can concentrate on the harvesting, without having to
remember to water. Many vegetables and fruit trees are quite
beautiful and can be planted in ornamental beds, while also being a
food source. We love to help our clients get started with an
edible garden of their own.
There
are many plants native to our local Victoria area that are edible
and/or are useful in traditional herbal remedies. Another benefit to a
native garden
is the increase in local wildlife visiting your yard. From teas to
berries, your yard will be a delicious place to
relax. Please contact us
if you would like to view a beautiful garden full of native, edible
plants!
