BBC's Gardener's World

presented by Sarah Raven showed a special session spent here in our Edible Flower borders.

Sarah and I talked at length about various ways of using these wonderfully tasty garden jewels!

Then the filming took us into the kitchen preparing ice bowls, a rose petal cake and various other goodies.
