Edible San Antonio Botanical Gardens…
Now talk about taking adding edibles to your landscape to the next level! BRAVO SAN ANTONIO BOTANICAL GARDENS!Don’t these cool weather vegetables look wonderful in the landscape? They are adding so much color and texture…and they are so useful! Now check out these spring planters that strike the perfect balance between beauty and function!
Want to add a twist to your tulips and spring flowers? Add colorful swiss chard and parsely!
This one was stunning! I am looking at parsley in a new light. A planter like this, or even on a smaller scale, would make a unique Passover or Easter gift.
Greens anyone?
Mexican feathergrass, chard, and an agave were another unlikely combo – clever!
What a green and lush groundcover parsely makes to fill in those bare spots while you wait for cut back perennials to return. (Sorry about the terrible picture and shadow – only had my little phone – blah!)
YUMMY!

Great pictures! Love the pots full of veggies and flowers.
Apparently, a really cool garden blogger purchased all the frogfruit at Shades of Green nursery;) I was informed by an employee there that you are one of his favorite customers.
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! I was there just a day or so after you getting stuff for work and he told me about y’alls conversation and called you “so nice and open-minded” – AWE! Small world! I’d love to have you over some time, it would be wonderful to meet you and Shirley both!!!!! Maybe in May when things are grown back around here y’all can come over for lunch or tea? A San Antonio blogger get together. I’d like that! you? Shirley? -xericstyle
A meet and greet would be fun. I would love to see your yard. I’m so inspired by your posts.
PS I told him that you also raise chickens. Yes, you do it all:)
That means so much – thank you Steph – I feel the same. It is a plan then – yay! Can’t wait! -xericstyle
Like you, I really enjoyed the edible lovelies mixed in with other plants like agave and tulips on my recent visit SABT. I’ll have a few pics soon, hopefully in a post tomorrow.
They looked so wonderful and well taken care of, didn’t they?! Simply amazing. You just know they must have a wonderful team working there tending to everything impeccably! I look forward to seeing the gardens through your eyes. And seeing your pictures which I know will be a million times better than mine!!! – xericstyle
