Pleasant Place 2: Nasturtiums (Tropaeolum Majus) Seeds - Edible Flowers for Salads, Garnishes & Container Gardening

Pleasant Place is a growing collection of publications about the art of gardening, offering both practical and in-depth information to everyday garden tasks and garden design. 

The second instalment is dedicated entirely to the nasturtium (Tropaeolum majus); every part of this plant is edible. From ‘A Botanical Introductions’ to ‘Nasturtiums in Art History,’ there are also the following: an interview with artist-gardener Elspeth Diederix, nasturtium recipes from Amazonian cuisine expert Noni Kooiman, and an article on the astonishing spring tradition involving this plant at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston.
