## 1. Garden Concept

This Zone 7 pollinator and edible garden blends heritage vegetables with native flowering plants to create a productive, beautiful space that works through three seasons. The design layers tall sunflowers and pole beans at the back, mid-height tomatoes and peppers in the center, and cascading nasturtiums and herbs along the front edge — maximizing yield in as little as 4×8 ft.
