Edible Evergreen Landcsaping

So the house my wife and I are planning on buying I wanted to put evergreen edible landscaping. Three plants I had in mind were tea camellia, yaupon holly, and Oregon grape. I was hoping y'all could give me some ideas for high use evergreens I could add in the landscaping. Especially good ground covers that are edible and can survive zone 7. Also what could be used as an evergreen privacy screen that has edible uses like food or tea?

Juniper

Creeping juniper, Juniperus horizontalis would make a nice groundcover.

Juniper is the ingredient in Gin though the berries can be eaten and used in cooking.

I like to recommend Creepin Thyme, Thymus praecox can also be used in cooking and it is so pretty.

Stonecrop is edible like purslane.

A lot of perennial vegetables might also work for you:

Privacy hedge:
--Korean pine will (eventually) grow pine nuts, but it's also a slow grower and not very dense.
--Elaeagnus x ebbingei makes a good hedge, topping out at about 6 feet.  I have yet to see those mythical berries.
--I'd totally go with camellias for a hedge - the foliage is pretty and you can pick your height.  You might consider mixing multiple types - there are some non-tea varieties that bloom in mid-winter which is cheering, others have more beautiful blooms, and tea camellias have less beautiful flowers but obviously the leaves are useful.  I believe all camellia flowers are edible.  If I could keep them alive in my garden I'd have tons.

Groundcover:
--Creeping thyme (some varieties) is nice, not as sturdy or spreading as one could hope, but useful here and there.
--I personally don't find bergenia attractive, but I inherited it and it makes sure it's the one part of the garden I don't have to weed, so it's staying.  The flowers are striking and the leaves are edible "as a famine food" according to PFAF.
--Moss rose is pretty and theoretically edible.  I haven't tried it yet.
--Kinnikinnick is a plant I have much more appreciation for now that I'm out of its native habitat and not seeing it everywhere.
--Winterberry is cute.  I've never been able to get it to spread.
--Creeping rosemary is barely hardy to zone 7, but useful and pretty.
--Prostrate junipers were mentioned above.  I find them kind of boring, and grass will peek through and then you need to wade through the prickly stuff to pull it.  However, great for holding hills down and keeping most weeds out.

I always bring up Ceanothus velutinus, cause I love it so much.

First off, it smells amazing. It's one of those resinous plants that smells sweet and spicy. The flowers always have tonnes of beneficial insects all over them. The leaves from the prior year make a tasty tea (current year leaves don't taste as strong). It fixes nitrogen. Supposedly the roots have medicinal properties, but that's about as much as I know about that.

It might be a little sprawling for a privacy hedge, though.

If you have room, I love Pacific Madrone. It would be a toss up whether it would do well in your climate, which is more 4 season than the coastal 2 season regime, but they can be pruned to stay low, and they are so beautiful.

Bayberry (Myrica or Morella Pensylvanica) may be evergreen where you are, and it's an excellent spice, fully replacing bay leaves in my kitchen (even better than bay leaves because in addition to drying the leaves and using them that way, I also use the fresh leaves by chopping them fine, which makes it much more flexible). Where I am in CT, it's more of a semi-evergreen. It's dioecious. If you have enough, a few will probably produce waxy berries, which can be used to make candles (tons of work) and I think can also be added to regular candle wax. The leaves are more than enough reward for me.

Tree collards keep their foliage here in zone 8 for all but the snowiest times, when quail strip their leaves due to a lack of other food. They bounce right back in a couple weeks. Most years they have been evergreen/purple for us.
