Description

Specialties Edible Landscapes is a garden installation service of the Fleet Farming Program. Our team of experienced growers build raised bed gardens full of vegetables and herbs as well as planting fruit trees and installing broader edible landscaping. This service allows Fleet Farming to expand its mission to the Central Florida community in a way that makes it easy for all generations to grow food that saves you money on your grocery bill. Our low-maintenance growing systems allow us to re-purpose virtually any underused outdoor space into a garden for farmers of all experience levels.

The process is simple: We help you to set up a consultation for your specific growing space, create a free garden design with you, and build your complete garden ready for you to enjoy. Contact us today to transform your lawn into abundant, Edible Landscapes. History Established in 2015. In 2014, during a community think-and-do tank known locally at The Hive run by the Nonprofit IDEAS For Us, community members gathered to discuss how Orlando, Florida could grow food locally with urban sprawl on the rise.

John Rife, Heather Grove and Chris Castro saw an amazing potential to convert underutilized land, lawns, into farms with their very own community who wanted to see this action take root. Community members began to contact the team, donating whatever lawn space they could offer in exchange for 10% of the harvests. Today, Director Lee Perry is leading a team of "Fleet Farmers" to get active in local urban agriculture, grow food, and supply it to local communities. The project is currently supported by local restaurants such as The Sanctum, Lazy Moon Pizza, and Florida and Co. as well as local farmer's markets in Audubon Park, Winter Park, and West Orlando
