The Snake Plant, also known as the "mother-in-law's tongue", is one of the hardiest plants around. It originates from West and Central Africa. You can find them in dry, rocky, desert like areas. Some people love them because they symbolize resilience and good luck. Snake Plants reduce allergens in the environment by releasing oxygen into the air, making them an air-purifying plant.

This architectural plant is absolutely stunning at all stages, from the moment it pokes its feathery head out in the spring to the yellow-tipped flower umbels in the fall.
We grow Bronze Fennel in our food garden for the delicious anise-tasting leaves and seeds, but also as an incredible pollinator magnet that increases biodiversity. It's a host plant for several swallowtail butterfly species, including Anise Swallowtail and Eastern Black Swallowtail, while its nectar is an important food source for many types of bees and wasps. We've also spotted Ruby Throated Hummingbirds paying a visit!
The leaves of Bronze Fennel are delicious fresh in salads, and can be dried for seasoning. All parts of the plant, including the seeds, make a delicious and soothing tea.
NOTE: This a perennial plant with roots, not the bulb-forming fennel veggie you may be more familiar with.

I will never have a food garden without Borage. This stunning herb has unique blue-purple star-shaped flowers that pollinators - especially bumble bees - absolutely crawl over all season long.
Every part of this plant is edible! It has a mild, cucumber-like taste that's delicious in salads and beverage garnishes. I dry the flower heads for bath salts, soap making + crafts, and when frozen in ice cubes, Borage makes a whimsical addition to drinks.

This variety of cucumber is the closest we've found to a traditional English cuke from the grocery store. Long, slender, thin-skinned fruits with fewer seeds than regular home-grown cukes, especially when picked early.
Requires a trellis + full sun. Harvest regularly to encourage more flowers to form.

A delightful novelty veggie in my food garden, Cucamelon - aka mouse melon - look like miniature watermelons! Hailing from Mexico and Central America, these distant cucumber cousins have a bright, refreshing taste with a citrus tang. They're totally unique and kids, especially, love them.
Cucamelons rarely make it in the house, as I snack on them while tending my gardens. But when they do, they're sliced in a salad or bring a small to a veggie platter. I preserve them like pickles, too. And just had a customer tell me they put them in cocktails!
Cucamelon vines need a structure to climb as they grow. My favourite way is to guide them along a tomato cage when growing in a container, but any sturdy trellis will work. Once flowers appear, start checking for fruit after a week.
$4 each or 3 for $10 (save $2!)
Type: annual fruit (although eaten as a veggie, like tomato)

I love the neon green interior of this heirloom beefstake tomato. It’s stunning on a plate layered with a deep red cousin such as Manitoba - serve them drizzled with olive oil, basil and creamy goat cheese. Emerald Evergreens are smooth + sweet with a rich flavour, a chonky slicer. Try them fried, or make green tomato sauce!
Indeterminate + requires staking.

If I could only grow one variety of tomato each year, Candyland would be it. These teeny toms - a currant variety - literally taste like pops of sugar, and are
non-stop, prolific producers. Long after other tomatoes in our gardens are finished, Candyland keep fruiting until the hardest frost kills the plant.
