"As the saying goes, 'politeness does not negate courage'… likewise, the fact that a plant is ornamental in no way negates its edibility, its highly nutritiousness, and/or medicinal value.

Whether you want to learn which ornamental plants in your area are edible, or to design a completely edible garden from scratch, this book will help you learn the culinary uses of a selection of ornamental garden and potted plants grown in most climates around the world. This way, you can take advantage of their seeds, fruits, faded flowers, pruning clippings, and much more, without hindering their decorative function."
