Edible Landscaping

Saturday, September 20

9:30 a.m. to noon

Join gardener Tripp Eldridge for an exploration of Rosalind Creasy’s approach to combining aesthetically pleasing landscaping with growing delicious food. Creasy is a garden and food writer, photographer, and landscape designer. In 1982 she published The Complete Book of Edible Landscaping, which won the Garden Writers Association’s Quill and Trowel award and was chosen as a Book of the Month selection. It coined the term “edible landscaping,” now a part of the American vocabulary.
