Episode #46, Edible and Native Landscape Design with Pete Widin

Today we learn from landscape designer and consultant Pete Widin some of his principles of plant selection for an edible landscape beyond just the aesthetic, and his system of working with clients and implementing his version of edible meets native landscape design.

We discuss ground cover options that are edible or herbal, research that’s going on to find plant combinations and plants from similar bioregions around the world to safely fit into a new environment.

He talks about his larger farm-scale use of permaculture principles to improve our greater environment plus the landscape industry and career opportunities related to this.

We also discuss whether grasses and turf lawns should have a place in landscape design today, and considerations for making a more bee-friendly lawn.
