Edible Petals

Edible Petals works on residential outdoor spaces such as backyards, front yards, terraces, and roof decks across Brooklyn and Manhattan.

Design philosophy

• Fit and harmony – Every garden is designed to feel like it "belongs" to the home and neighborhood, rather than imposing a single signature style.
• Low maintenance by design – Plant selections and materials are chosen to minimize ongoing maintenance needs wherever possible.
• Working with nature – The goal is to work alongside nature, embracing seasonal changes and the passage of time instead of fighting them.
• Practical details – Designs consider the path of rainwater, the lifespan of wood and stone outdoors, and the way people move through and use the space, so clients do not have to worry about these details.

A well-designed garden from Edible Petals should feel as though it was always meant to be there, and the highest compliment is when visitors can no longer remember what the space looked like before.

• Backyards and rear gardens – Transforming overgrown or underused spaces into relaxing, multi-functional gardens.
• Front yards and curb appeal – Cutting through existing hard surfaces where needed to create welcoming front gardens and modern curb appeal.
• Terraces and roof decks – Turning terraces and rooftops into lush outdoor rooms, including edible and fragrant plantings.

What Edible Petals can include in a project

Depending on the site and client needs, projects may incorporate:

• Bluestone or similar paved terraces and paths.
• Irrigation systems to support plantings.
• Fences and privacy elements.
• Planters and custom-built planters that complement the architecture.
• Custom outdoor furniture.
• Arbors and other structures for privacy or shade.
• Play structures integrated into family gardens.
• Planting designs that may include grasses, shrubs, perennials, roses, lavenders, and herbs, tailored to sun and shade conditions.

Edible Petals coordinates with a network of vetted craftspeople and professionals, such as arborists, electricians, and plumbers, to deliver complete garden installations.
