Garden-to-table trends in landscaping

Mindy Levandoski from Litchfield Landscapes talks about Garden-to-Table Landscaping trends. While Diana Shellhaas, Outdoor Education Coordinator with The Orchard School talks about unique container ideas!

Mindy says a hot item right now is the raised bed garden or raised box garden, because you can get so much produce out of such a small space. Homeowners like it, because they can mow around it. While she can't bring in a raised bed garden, she can bring in a container garden to show how you can plant edibles.

Diana Shellhaas, Outdoor Education Coordinator at The Orchard School. Like Mindy, Diana lives a green lifestyle and teaches the students at Orchard to do the same every child at Orchard (from preschool to eighth grade) planting a total garden. There were plants all over the school, under lights, in the cold house, in the greenhouse, everywhere.
