Design ideas for a small eclectic backyard stone vegetable garden landscape in Seattle.

Enclosed raised garden bed outfitted with pergola and lattice for climbing vegetables. Fenced in to keep out deer and other vegetable hungry critters. Constructed out of Douglas fir and coated with a UV protector to prevent sun bleaching. Irrigation with timers installed for easy watering.

Because the sunniest place to grow vegetables is in the front yard, custom Cor-ten steel planters were designed as an attractive sculptural element, their graceful curves complementing the organic flow of the landscape. Informal gravel provides stable footing to walk and work, while remaining permeable to rain. Dwarf citrus grow in pots, and foundation plantings of Ribes sanguineum and Phormium 'Guardsman', and Ficus pumila vine anchor the home. Photo © Jude Parkinson-Morgan.

Edible landscaping encompasses much more then adding some veggie beds to one’s property. Creative layouts and material usage can incorporate year-round vegetable harvests in an aesthetically pleasing way. Perennial fruit trees, along with bushes and herbs, create a lush space full of beautiful, colors, textures, smells and tastes. Searching out and experimenting with different and rare varieties of edible plants keeps home gardens interesting. Edible landscaping gives access to food at its freshest, when it is most nutritious, and offers many more options than supermarket produce sections—also cutting down on transportation and packaging impacts. From edible estates to food forests, or simple integration of garden-based food production, Sweet Smiling Landscapes has the knowledge and experience to help home owners harvest their own bounty.

Patent pending on these beautifully crafted, weathered Ipe raised planters!! Our staff carpenter designed them and constructed them on site with other crew members. We used washed pea stone for the paths. It is truely remarkable the amount of food that can be grown in a small amount of space.
