food gardens
Homegrown produce patches
Food gardens are areas cultivated specifically for growing edible plants—vegetables, fruits, herbs, and sometimes edible flowers.
The term distinguishes productive gardens from ornamental ones: We converted the backyard into a food garden during the pandemic.
Food gardens range from small raised beds to extensive plots, and the phrase often carries connotations of self-sufficiency or sustainable living.
