When we grow in urban gardens, sometimes it is easy to focus only on vegetables, herbs and fruits when there are plenty of other options that will help to beautify your landscape as well. While you might not immediately be inclined to grow flowers in your limited urban space, if you take a moment to consider how many beautiful flowers are actually edible, you will begin to see your garden in a whole new light. We thought we would start the week by sharing some of our favorite edible flowers.
