Our Permaculture Life: Edible Flowers - Eat Your Greens As Well As Your Colours!

Edible Flowers - Eat Your Greens As Well As Your Colours!

Did you know that very many flowers in your kitchen garden are totally edible?

Eat your colours and your greens!

In my latest film: Edible Flowers (11 mins) I take you for a wander through my award-winning permaculture garden to show you what edible flowers are growing this winter including vegetable flowers, herbs flowers, legume flowers, fruit flowers and native flowers.

Allowing many of your vegetables to go to seed gives you a chance to make the most of each plant - from root to tip, and also to integrate these abundantly flowering plants as a key part of the diversity and pest management strategies of your sustainable garden.

Some of the flowers included in this film are:
