Why Should You Grow Edible Flowers?
There are a few reasons why we need flowers in our vegetable gardens. First and foremost, flowers attract pollinators, and you need pollinators in your garden. Pollinators include bees & butterflies. Without pollination, your fruit could flower but never produce.
In addition, flowers add a pop of color to your garden! You can have purple, yellow, pink, and even blue flowers. These colors look so nice against all the green in the garden.
Finally, edible flowers are fun to add to your food. Looking to jazz up a dish? Simply add a few edible flowers and instantly elevate your dish! Growing edible flowers is also nice when you are in the garden - you can snack on them while you work.
