A garden where flowers and food share the same space

Huw Richards’s guide brings together 100 plants chosen for both their ornamental appeal and their edible uses. Vegetables, herbs, flowers, trees and shrubs all feature, with growing information and planting plans that show how selected plants can be combined. The book also considers the garden’s wider roles: these plants can add visual interest, attract beneficial insects and provide crops. Examples range from amaranth, with its deep-red flower stems and nutty taste, to dahlia flowers used as a salad garnish. The emphasis is on making productive planting part of a garden or container display, rather than treating food crops and decorative plants as separate projects.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Gardeners interested in combining edible crops with ornamental planting.
  • Those seeking growing guidance and planting-plan inspiration for gardens or pots.
  • Readers exploring edible vegetables, herbs, flowers, trees and shrubs.
