  1. Edible Landscape By Jordin Tafoya

  2. Purpose To design a landscape that is: -Beautiful -Thoughtful -Productive

  3. Requirements • Budget: $5,000 • 6-10 hours to complete design process • All plants must be edible

  4. Ideate: Plants • Prickly pear cactus • Mint • Brussels Sprouts • Watermelon • Green Onions • Squash • Cucumbers • Egg Plant • Cilantro • Rosemary • Elderberry

  5. The plants that I chose were…

  6. Prickly pear cactus You can make: • Jam • Candy • Wine • Cakes • Medicines

  7. Mint Uses are: • Syrup • Cleaning • Adding flavor

  8. Watermelon • Good for cardiovascular and bone health • Mostly fiber and water, so you will not gain weight

  9. Cucumbers • One provides most of the vitamins you need daily: • Vitamins B1,2,3,5,6 • Folic Acid • Vitamin C • Calcium • Iron • Magnesium • Phosphorus • Potassium • Zinc

  10. Elderberry • Used for medicine • Cold & Flu • Swine Flu • Boosting the immune system • Sinus pain • Leg pain

  11. Understand • Where will the garden/landscape be located? • In a residential backyard • How will the local climate and soil conditions impact the design of the edible landscape? • Because certain plants require certain weather conditions like rain and moist soil, which New Mexico does not have.

  12. Understand • Has a budget been established for the project? • $5,000 • What is your schedule for completion? • 6-10 hours for completing the design phases

  13. Ideate: Irrigation • Underground water system • Would cost a lot of money • Sprinklers • Drip system • More for smaller plants than larger • You would have to have something holding the strips up • Fish pond • Good for getting nutrients to the plants

  14. Ideate: Drainage System • All the extra water can run down to the pond • Underground pipes

  15. Design Idea’s:Landscape

  16. Final Design Reasons for choice: • Most visually appealing • Has best irrigation • Has room for other backyard furniture

  17. Prototype: Cake

  18. Prototype Materials • Sour Patch Watermelon (Watermelon) • Wintergreen Tic Tacs (Cucumber) • Berry Skittles (Elderberry) • Green peppermints (Mint) • Airheads (Prickly pear cactus)

  19. Refine • Make the irrigation system have less work for the owners • Make the crops a little further apart • Make a waterfall in addition to the fish pond • Because it would be more visually appealing
