`Call it floral food, edible landscaping, ornamental vegetable gardening, call it what you like, but if you want to grow courgettes in your borders, plant cabbages on roundabouts, grow your lettuce amongst the flowers, and if you do the best part of your gardening in bare feet, or if your garden isn't behind your house, then welcome to another way.' In this timely new book, Gardeners' World's thrifty and resourceful Alys Fowler shows that there is a way to take the good life and re-fashion it to fit in with life in the city. Abandoning the limitations of traditional gardening methods, she has created a beautifully productive garden where tomatoes sit happily next to roses, carrots are woven between the lavenders and potatoes grow in pots on the patio. And all of this is produced in a way that mimics natural systems, producing delicious homegrown food for her table. And she shares her favourite recipes for the hearty dishes, pickles and jams she makes to use up her bountiful harvest, proving that no-one need go hungry on her grow-your-own regime. Good for the pocket, good for the environment and hugely rewarding for the soul, The Edible Garden urges gardeners everywhere to chuck out the old rules and create their own haven that's as good to look at as it is to eat.
