Hardy perennial plants, shrubs, and bushes on this site offer: --FOOD SECURITY in these highly uncertain times. Enhance your self-sufficiency by simply putting any of these plants in the ground once and enjoying the food from them each year for several years and, in many cases, decades to come. --EDIBLE LANDSCAPING: If you're going to landscape your property with plants, shrubs, and trees, why not use those that will provide you and your family with healthy food? --Grow your very own FOOD FOREST! If you're not familiar with the food forest concept, there are many useful video resources on YouTube that can be found simply using the search term "food forest". Are you big on ambition, but short on space? A highly recommended YouTube channel is "The Gardening Channel with James Prigioni". On his channel, James produces excellent content and demonstrates how an abundance of food can be grown on just a one-ninth acre suburban backyard on his one-third acre property using food forest principles. Products found at The Berry Booth represent the understory, the shrub layer, the herbaceous layer, the root layer, the ground cover layer, and the vine layer; all the layers of a healthy food forest, except the overstory layer. --Most importantly, have more control over where your food comes from and ensure it's grown using healthy practices, all while loosening Big Ag's grip on your food supply.
