Someone did a fantastic job of designing the gardens, with an appealing mix of flowers, vegetables, and other plants. The big display of containerized edible plants was especially informative, because it shows how to grow veggies in a little bit of space but with eye appeal that will satisfy someone worried about the aesthetics of growing vegetables.
