Edible landscaping is the use of plants that produce food in place of more commonly used ornamental plants.

The term edible landscaping encompasses vegetable gardens, but goes beyond this concept to include any constructed landscape- public or private – where edible plants have been intentionally used.

The City also maintains a trail network that provides access to areas with wild harvesting opportunities, such as Long Lake, Yukon College and Grey Mountain.
