• Flower

  Plants grown mainly for their blooms, whether edible, pollinator-friendly, or ornamental.

• Fruit

  Sweet, ground- or vine-grown fruit that a home gardener can raise without a permanent tree or bush. Kept deliberately thin, since tree and bush fruit are out of scope.

• Herb

  Plants grown for aromatic leaves, stems, or rhizomes used to season food or make tea.

• Vegetable

  Plants grown for edible leaves, roots, stems, buds, pods, or fruit eaten as part of a savoury meal.
