Select's summer 2012 edible flower and herb garden

Now that we're safely passed the May 24 weekend and planting can officially begin, we've set up our own little herb and edible flower garden behind the kitchen.  Simon, our resident handyman, built the garden over the weekend, complete with a fence to keep the neighbourhood geese and rabbits out.

We use edible flowers in many of our canape tray garnishes, it's a great way to add colour to the platter, while still being safe to present next to food.
