A Chef’s Garden
Vicia has been named St. Louis’ best restaurant and one of the top restaurants in the country. This edible landscape is very much a chef’s garden. The foodscape is anchored by unique fruit trees, shrubs and a groundcover of alpine strawberries. A huge diversity of colorful herbs and edible flowers invite the Vicia staff to pick the most unique and fresh ingredients for their world-class menu.
Tara Gallina, Co-owner of Take Root Hospitality
“Incorporating a foodscape into your restaurant is something that is going to pay back dividends.
We don’t buy herbs anymore.
We can come out every day and know we are getting the freshest, most delicious accompaniments to our experience.”
A Neighborhood Bar & Restaurant
This inviting pub is known for its unique patio. Fruiting trees and native plants greet guests at the curb. Grape bunches hang from the portico above patrons’ heads and an espalier fruit tree brings the brick wall to life.
“We have taken our courtyard to the next level with the guidance of Custom Foodscapes. The food-based garden is an inspiring feature for both the vibe as well as the harvest of the grapes, jujubes, service berries, figs, and more! It just gets better every year!”
A Breakfast Cafe
A beloved breakfast and brunch restaurant with a strong community spirit, Songbird wanted a small scale growing space outside its brick and mortar in The Grove. Cedar raised beds set against a sun-soaked brick wall will provide the kitchen staff with a place to grow herbs and flowers.
