Place the tomato plants in one wedge, the basil in the next and so on.
Mark out a 6- or 7-foot-diameter circle and divide it into six “slices” using decorative stones, strips of wood trim or plastic edging. Many of your pizza plantings can be started from seed, which means you can begin before the warm growing season officially arrives.Īdd a Fun Layout and Follow Your ProgressĪlthough you can plant your pizza garden in any location (including raised beds and containers), some gardeners like to create even more family fun by laying out the garden in a pizza shape. Use sweet bell peppers and mix in some hotter varieties for a more caliente pizza. Mix Roma tomatoes with golden jubilee, cherry or dwarf varieties, or even heirloom species. If you prefer other veggies or herbs, add those or switch them out for some you aren’t wild about. Traditional Italian herbs include oregano, basil and parsley. The usual suspects for pizza-making include tomatoes, onions, peppers and herbs. Plant Species to Include in Your Pizza Garden If pizza isn’t your thing, you and your family can choose from any number of themed planting ideas or even create your own. Planting your garden in a pizza-shaped layout cranks up the fun factor even more. Most kids love pizza, so engaging them in selecting, planting and caring for the ingredients is educational as well as fun.
A pizza garden is a fun way to entertain children while teaching them the importance of growing food and the garden-to-table philosophy.
