Edible flowers have a long history in the culinary world as whimsical garnishes and subtle flavor additions used to create dishes that look as beautiful as they taste. With so many choices available to you, it's time to explore all the varieties of edible flowers you can grow in your garden and the many ways you can use them to enhance your cooking. 

During this free webinar and cooking demo on Tuesday, May 26 at 1 pm, chef and gardener Liz Barbour of The Creative Feast will take you on a slide presentation tour of her cottage sized edible gardens and demonstrate 2 delicious recipes featuring edible flowers from her garden.
