Abstract:
Through the years Chase has created gardens that would help feed her family. Recently she has been exploring \"drinkable\" gardens--plants that become beverages, wines, juices, ciders, teas, and syrups. Using yield, reliability, and ease of care as determinants, Chase presents five choices of drinkable plants for the Carolinas--crabapple, serviceberry, prickly pear cactus, muscadine, and bay laurel.
