Flowers are not just beautiful to behold, and weeds are not just a blemish to be rid of. Discover which ones can add colour, flavour and nutrition to your cooking. Tour an expert's garden - designed to produce the maximum edible harvest from our short Canadian growing season - and visit a greenhouse that grows that the most delicious blooms. The ensuing gourmet recipes will change the way you feel about weeds, and perhaps, convince you to trade in your hoe for a hammock.
