The space is planted primarily with perennial edible trees, shrubs, vines and groundcovers, complemented by a smaller selection of annual vegetables and herbs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe INcrEDIBLE Discovery Garden invites guests to reconsider what an edible landscape can be,\u201d said General Manager of the Foellinger-Freimann Botanical Conservatory Nate Cardelli, PhD. \u201cMany people immediately picture a traditional vegetable garden when they think about growing food, but this space demonstrates how fruiting trees, shrubs, vines, groundcovers, herbs and vegetables can come together in a garden that is both beautiful and productive.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_132082\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-132082\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/tINcrEDIBLEDiscoveryGarden-B.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"562\" class=\"size-full wp-image-132082\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/tINcrEDIBLEDiscoveryGarden-B.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/tINcrEDIBLEDiscoveryGarden-B-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/tINcrEDIBLEDiscoveryGarden-B-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/tINcrEDIBLEDiscoveryGarden-B-747x420.jpg 747w, https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/tINcrEDIBLEDiscoveryGarden-B-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/tINcrEDIBLEDiscoveryGarden-B-696x391.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-132082\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The INcrEDIBLE Discovery Garden at the Foellinger-Freimann Botanical Conservatory.

The garden also creates opportunities for future interpretation and small-group programming focused on perennial food plants, plant care, seasonal growth and the connections between horticulture and food.<\/p>\n<p>The garden\u2019s name emphasizes both its Indiana roots and its focus on edible plants. Through its layered plantings and unexpected varieties, the INcrEDIBLE Discovery Garden offers guests a space meant to teach, be explored and enjoyed throughout the growing season.<\/p>\n<p>Guests may visit the INcrEDIBLE Discovery Garden beginning August 7 during regular Botanical Conservatory public hours.<\/p>\n<p>The Foellinger-Freimann Botanical Conservatory is located at 1100 S.
