The Secret Homestead
The Secret Homestead aims to break traditional veg patch ‘ tropes ’ and challenge what edible gardens can be .
The dramatic black and white palette , with pops of coral and pink , sets this garden apart from conventional kitchen gardens . Initially the borders appear purely ornamental , however , all plants are edible . On closer inspection , some conventional vegetables can be found , but in their most decorative forms .
Just as the plants are dual-purpose , so too are the decorative elements . Sculptures double as insect habitats and mushroom gardens , a hand painted door reveals a root cellar . Beauty is as important as abundance in this alternative food
