Our clients asked for a unique vegetable garden so we designed a series of custom cut Corten steel planters of different diameters and heights. A circle of fine decorative gravel surrounds the planters, defining the space. Renn Kuhnen Photography

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.

design: Studio TOOP, together with Marilies Tuinontwerpen location: Amsterdam (Noord), NL status: built in 2007, Kooter Hoveniers foto’s: 2012, Jolanthe Lalkens The challenge for this garden in Amsterdam Noord was to create ample space for a vegetable garden while preserving the view and providing enough structure that the garden also looks good in the winter. Also, the goats and chickens in the back of the garden needed to be easily accessible, even when the grass was wet. Studio TOOP achieved this by creating a path that isn't a path and at a same time emphasizing the width of the garden with polder-esque lines.
