Lee,

If you are in or near southcentral PA (northern Adams County) I would suggest a visit to Thom and Judy Marti. They are long-time permaculturists who run an organic CSA, Broad Valley Orchard. The landscaping around their house uses blueberries and fruit trees, and they've tucked in food-producing plants everywhere. I will send a separate message to you off-line with some photos.

And I will surely look forward to your future book (I hope) on edible landscaping.

I will be driving to Pennsylvania and Ohio this week looking at colleges with my daughter. I'd also like to get some photos of some fruit plants that are being used for "edible landscaping," that is, not planted in an orchard or production garden setting, but being used as specimen trees, ornamental hedges, groundcovers, foundation plantings, etc. Does anybody out there have any suggestions for gardens that I could visit that would fill this bill? Thanks for your help.
