In 2000 I wrote Edible & Medicinal Flowers, never dreaming that my gardens of flowers would reach into so many places, and so I was spurred on to rewrite it incorporating new recipes and the new flowers I have grown in the interim years.
Health, wellness and organic gardening go hand in hand, and with these easy-to-grow flowers and their vast edible and medicinal properties, I foresee an enjoyment of wellbeing, as people benefit from planting gardens of healing flowers.
And so I put into your hands my new recipes, thoughts, plantings – a garden of health and wealth – and I urge you to replan, rethink and replant your present garden into the paradise of food and natural medicine it was intended to be.
I dedicate this book to gardeners everywhere! May every page inspire you to grow your own edible and healing flowers close at hand for everyday use to build wellness and great positivity!
