Edible flowers

Our methods of culture are different from the classical horticultural techniques because our flowers are for food consumption. Indeed, only some flowers can be eaten and they must be cultivated by a market gardener.

Plants-de-souci

 

 

Our goal is not to offer a maximum range, but to obtain complementary edible flowers with for each a particular colour and taste. Flowers are picked up very carefully, one by one, taking extra care not to touch the petals.

We intend to offer to our customers a range of about ten different edible flowers varieties all year round.
