Edible Pickens
Working Together
To Edibly Landscape Pickens County
Edible Jasper is a project that was initiated in 2011 by a small group of residents who wanted to promote sustainable and beneficial landscaping. The Pickens County Progress let them begin in their parking lot. Those original gardens are still around the front two light posts in the Progress‘s parking lot; KPB recently improved them and added two more around the other light posts!
KPB has adopted the Edible Jasper project and expanded it into Edible Pickens!

Keep Pickens Beautiful is also looking for leaders to help with Edible Pickens. We have many extremely knowledgable folks in our community who can help guide our plant choices as we develop more garden spaces. Please contact us if you want to help!
Sustainability and Environmental Responsibility
The Edible Pickens initiative expands the sustainable and environmentally responsible actions already happening in our community. KPB wants to help grow this into an identity for Pickens County – an identity as a forward-thinking community that cares about the environment and its citizens. Edible Pickens compliments our state-of-the-art recycling center, farm-to-table restaurants, farmers markets, and more.
