Edible Gardens Hidden in Plain Sight
Penny and I recently visited Disneyland (just the two of us-no kids to tend to) and discovered some magic that had been hidden in plain sight. We had the luxury of time to admire the landscaping and while in Tomorrow land realized we were looking at cabbage, red peppers, hedgerows of clipped kumquats, espaliered apples, sheared rosemary, and a plethora of other edibles. Even over in California Adventure along a small hillside were rows of grapes. These edibles are blended seamlessly into the landscaping and take some effort to recognize. After some research I found that the Disneyland complex has a team of over 150 gardeners that tend the grounds (mainly after the park is closed) and practice water wise practices in addition to the edible plantings.
