While you are entertaining guests, try this party trick: pick a few berries off of your patio shrub and add them right to a cocktail! The presentation is stunning with mixed drinks, but if you are a more health conscious person, you could always make nutritious smoothies! Eating right off of the plant has its own amusing charm, but it also has serious health benefits: apples, strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, and oranges have all been labeled super-foods, and eating them raw has been shown highly effective in delivering all their antioxidants and nutrients right to your body. And what’s more beautiful than that?
