Episode 56: Edible Flowers with Jan Billington

In this episode, I'm speaking to Jan Billington of Maddocks Farm Organics, a flower farm in Devon growing and selling organic edible flowers. We talk about the easiest and tastiest flowers you can grow, colour trends, some more unusual edible flowers and how you can use edible flowers for your own special event. The episode starts with Jan telling us about her farm and why she feels her business needs to give something back.

What We Discuss:

• Where to source edible flowers and what to look out for
• Using them in a variety of ways
• Flowers you can grow yourself
• Flowers for insects
• Colour trends
• Unusual flowers
