Eat Your Garden is a grow-your-own book with a difference: its focus is on edimentals, plants that are both edible and ornamental. They offer a sustainable and beautiful way to grow food in your garden, whether it's large, urban or a balcony, or in containers. Much like a potager garden, this is a naturalistic, stylish and low-maintenance method of integrating edible plants, largely perennials, within your existing garden, whatever its style and without the need to create a dedicated space.
Harry will introduce you to the huge range of plants available, from the familiar to the surprising and lesser known, so you can grow a diverse range of plants that are good to eat, good for biodiversity and good for your health. He ll guide you on how to plan and design your planting schemes, considering form, layers, color and texture, as well as describing the pollinating effects they can have and the opportunities they create for you to forage in your own garden.
There are also illuminating case studies on how edimentals are used in larger spaces and public gardens in the US, UK and internationally, such as edible meadows, food forests, market gardens and permaculture systems as well as Harry's own award-winning RHS Chelsea show gardens, so that you can choose elements to suit your own space, conditions and climate.
