Margaret Roberts is a well-known proponent of the
use of natural products to enhance health and wellbeing.
In 100 Edible & Healing Flowers, she encourages readers to
create a garden of flowers that can be used in celebrations,
in the kitchen, and also to produce medicines and cosmetics.
In this hands-on, practical book, Margaret instructs how
and when to plant, grow and harvest flowers, and supplies
recipes that harness the medicinal, cosmetic and edible
nature of these plants. The accessible, down-to-earth
text is spiced with personal anecdotes and information
about the historical use of flowers in herbalism. Colourful
photographs aid identification, and Margaret’s delicate
line drawings add an appealing touch of whimsy to this
elegant book.
An indispensable guide for anyone interested in health,
wellness, organic gardening and using flowers to enhance
their cooking and health.
