Transform your Atlanta home into a haven of beauty and flavor with an exquisite edible garden. Imagine stepping into your backyard and harvesting fresh herbs and vegetables, all while enjoying the aesthetic charm of ornamental plants. Here’s how you can create a stunning and functional garden with ornamental cabbage, parsley, basil, dill, tomatoes, and mint—with expert assistance from Contemporary Gardens.
Ornamental Cabbage: Start with ornamental cabbage to add a splash of color and texture. Its vibrant hues and unique leaves make it a striking focal point in any garden, seamlessly blending beauty with practicality.
Parsley: Parsley isn’t just a garnish. This robust herb is perfect for Atlanta’s climate, thriving in both sun and partial shade. It’s a versatile addition to your culinary repertoire, enhancing soups, salads, and sauces with its fresh, vibrant flavor.
Basil: Basil is a must-have for any edible garden. Its aromatic leaves are a staple in many dishes, from Italian pasta to Thai curries. Plant basil in a sunny spot, and it will reward you with abundant growth and a delightful fragrance.
Dill: Dill’s feathery foliage adds a delicate touch to your garden. It’s excellent for pickling and pairs wonderfully with fish and potatoes. Dill also attracts beneficial insects, promoting a healthy garden ecosystem.
Tomatoes: No edible garden is complete without tomatoes. Choose from a variety of heirlooms or cherry tomatoes to enjoy juicy, homegrown produce. Plant them in a sunny location and support their growth with sturdy stakes or cages.
Mint: Mint is an easy-to-grow herb that spreads quickly. Its refreshing flavor is perfect for teas, desserts, and cocktails. Plant mint in a container to keep it from overtaking your garden, and enjoy its invigorating aroma and taste.
