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.

Visitors will also encounter less familiar edible plants, including hardy kiwi, filberts, quince, Asian persimmon, honeyberry, medlar, maypop, gooseberries, elderberries, jujube, wintergreen, salal, almonds and hops.<\/p>\n<p>Designed as a garden of discovery, the space highlights edible plants that can be grown successfully in Indiana while encouraging visitors to explore new approaches to home gardening and landscape design. 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.
