Delicious Terrain is an edible landscape design company. We create pre-designed, purchasable garden layouts called Tasty Landscape Layouts — beautiful, functional edible gardens you install yourself. No landscaper required, no guesswork involved, just thoughtful design delivered straight to your inbox.

A Tasty Landscape Layout is a complete garden design delivered as a digital download. Each one includes a detailed planting diagram and a full plant list with quantities and spacing — everything you need to know about what to plant and where. You bring the plants and the effort, we bring the design that makes sure everything belongs together.

Traditional garden design comes with consultation fees, installation costs and timelines measured in weeks. We skip all of that. Our designs are pre-created by an experienced designer, priced affordably, and delivered instantly — so you get expert-level design without the expert-level price tag or the wait.

Each plant type included in the final design is underlined, every single one. We want you to have a very good idea of the project you are about to invest in and what plants you can expect to be included, and intrigued enough to make a purchase. All the plants included are also pictured in the photo collage.

Several options actually:

1. Replace the plants in the design with a different closely related variety your local nursery does carry. Sure, the look and possibly the taste will be different, but something is better than nothing.

2. Try mail order and online options for available choices. See Resource page for some favorite companies, just a handful of available options, and super important information when selecting plants to be consumed.

3. If it’s early enough in the season, think about starting the plants from seed yourself. Challenging and possibly frustrating in the beginning, but practice makes perfect and sooooo rewarding when your babies thrive.

4. For a long term plan (and better health of the environment and us too), ask your nursery to start carrying a bigger variety of plants. Support that amazing local nursery as well, so they can stay in business and supply you with amazing healthy plants for years to come.

No worries, shoot us an email with your preferred plants/ colors and we will reach out to you as soon as we can. Please include all relevant information like zone, water lever, sun exposure and size of design, and we will go from there.

Things to consider on a patio, and especially the balcony, is the size and the weight. Each design has a stated diameter or width and length, what is not stated is the height. That will depend on a few different factors:

• plants in the design: root vegetables like potatoes, carrots, beets, radishes and the like will need more soil depth to thrive and properly grow. Surface plants like tomatoes, peppers and flowers might not need as much depth.

• the bigger the planter the more it will weight once fully planted and watered thoroughly. If your balcony is cantilevered reach out to your landlord for weight restrictions. The planter manufacturer will have information on weight of their products.

• if the design includes perennial plants and the planter is smaller to medium sized, they might not survive the winter outdoors. Bring the container indoors, even a garage will work, or insulate the planter for the winter and water occasionally so the roots don’t dry out completely.

• your design style, the space and sight lines. We always recommend marking off the area with masking tape and marking the height too. Things have a way of being bigger then we actually think. Want a shallower planter: skip the root vegetables and water more often.

Simple. Browse our shop, purchase the design that fits your space, and receive it as an instant digital download — ready to reference the moment you're ready to dig in.

Because our designs are delivered instantly as digital downloads, all sales are final. We recommend reviewing the size, zone, sun exposure and water level details carefully before purchasing to make sure it's the right fit for your space — and if you have any questions beforehand, reach out anytime. We're happy to help you choose with confidence before you buy.

Not necessarily, but a little know-how goes a long way. Since you're installing the design yourself — plants, soil and all — some basic gardening comfort helps, especially if hiring a landscaper isn't in the budget. Every design comes with clear plant information, and our FAQ page is here to help fill in the gaps as you go.

Your USDA Hardiness Zone is based on your location's average annual minimum temperature. You can look yours up for free on the USDA's Plant Hardiness Zone Map website — just enter your zip code and you'll have your answer in seconds. https://planthardiness.ars.usda.gov/

Zones tell you which perennial plants will reliably survive your winter, so a design built for zones 4–7 may still work for you outside that range — you'll just need to treat certain perennials as annuals, or provide extra winter protection. When in doubt, reach out and we're happy to help you figure it out.

Our raindrop rating gives you a quick, at-a-glance sense of how thirsty a design is. One raindrop means low water needs — your plants are practically self-sufficient. Three raindrops means higher water needs and a more consistent watering routine. It's a helpful starting point, though actual needs shift with your climate, soil and season.

Most of our designs are flexible enough for both. Just keep an eye on height — some taller plants aren't ideal for containers since they can topple over at full size, but we always note that in the design description so you know before you plant.

Absolutely — every single design includes recipe inspiration to help you actually use your harvest. Because a garden full of food is only half the fun; the other half is what ends up on your plate.
