Outdoor Grills and Edible Gardening

As we enter the full swing of summer, enjoying the outdoors is top of mind for those in the Pacific Northwest.  At Home & Garden Seattle, we want to share some of the exciting things we’ve seen recently to help both renters and homeowners better enjoy their outdoor summer living.

Outdoor grills:  whether you call it barbecuing, outdoor grilling or something else, cooking outdoors is a top activity this time of year in the Pacific Northwest.  At Home & Garden Seattle, we’ve seen some exciting options to excite homeowners and renters alike.  The Big Green Egg, the popular ceramic outdoor grill, is being used in a variety of new ways and settings, including incorporating into permanent fixtures for the feel and look of a built-in outdoor kitchen.  Outdoor pizza ovens, such as from Nature Perfect Landscaping, can add a unique splash to your outdoor cooking options.

Edible gardens that are also decorative:  edible gardening is especially big this time of year.  Did you realize all the ways you can enjoy edible gardening that is also decorative?  These decorative container plants, designed by West Seattle Nursery, combine edible plants such as herbs along with annuals and perennials.  And edible gardening need not be limited just to sunny areas.  These innovative designs by Hello Garden, show how you can combine edible gardening with annuals and perennial plants in a shade garden setting.

Summer is a great time of year for outdoor living!
