Adding Fruit Trees to Your Garden

A lot of people like using their garden solely for decorative purposes, but others, while they feel this is important, also feel that having fruit growing in their garden is essential for the complete garden experience.

Adding fruiting plants to your garden can be done quite simply, but you should try to get a wide selection of different plants for the garden. Getting a few different fruit trees will give you lots of options, but you need to minimise them to ones which grow well in our climate. You can scatter other smaller fruiting plants, such as strawberries, blueberries, and maybe something like garlic or thyme, around the trees, making sure you’re maximising your space usage.

You could design your garden so that it provides a large amount of food produce, through fruit trees, plants, and vegetables, without compromising the garden’s aesthetic design.
