Beauty: How to make an edible garden in containers look beautiful

I was delighted recently to be able to chat to edible garden designer and permaculturalist, Jennifer Lauruol, founder of Carpe Diem Gardens,  recently. She visited Newcastle to share ideas on growing food in small spaces. During her visit, she kindly offered us these tips on how to create a beautiful edible garden. These include:

• Grow roses to disguise your food garden (roses are beautiful, good for pollinators, and flowers and hips are edible).
• Growing different plants of the same colour in a pot (eg calendula with yellow chard) is very striking.
• Try to find a way to unite your pots stylewise eg chose the same style of pot or paint or decorate them in the same way.
• Arrange pots so any white colours are in dark places and dark colours are in light places.

I recorded some of our conversation which you can listen to below:-
