Yes it totally did help increase the value. With such a "wild" looking garden in a very conservative neighborhood I was worried that the garden would be too crazy for most people. But it turns out it was the biggest selling point of the home and really helped it stand out from everyone else. I think edible landscaping is getting trendier and trendier and I really think it's the most enjoyable and potentially cheapest way to increase the value of a home ... if you like gardening.
