Grow Edible Flowers: Garden Therapy Kit from GardenTrends

Container Gardening, Garden

Grow edible flowers for salads, savory dishes, drinks, and dessert recipes. This Garden Therapy Kit from GardenTrends makes it so easy!

Grow edible flowers for salads, savory dishes, drinks, and dessert recipes. This Garden Therapy Kit from GardenTrends makes it so easy!

I’m happy to be here today to talk to you about some wonderful seed starting kits designed by my friend, Stephanie Rose, who created the gardening blog Garden Therapy. I’ve also got a fun giveaway so make sure to stick around to the end for the details on that.

When Stephanie asked me to try out one of her kits, I was a little hesitant because I had never started seeds before. Turns out that I didn’t have anything to worry about because these kits are so easy. Anyone can do this! Whether you are a beginner like me, or a seasoned seed starter, you will love this Edible Flowers Kit. With each kit, and there are several to choose from, GardenTrends includes a wonderful information brochure, the seed packets, and a Jiffy Greenhouse Kit (or seed starting tray.)

Grow Edible Flowers!

I did get a little bit of a late start so I skipped starting the seeds indoors and direct sowed them into small pots. I put them outside in a protected area of my deck so they won’t get too much wind or rain. If all goes well, I will have colorful nasturtiums, golden sweet peas, calendula, and zucchini squash before summer ends. My pots are small, so at some point I may have to move the plants to bigger containers.

    Thanks for the info on edible flowers. Since I have allergy issues I have never tried edible flowers. It sounds like I should investigate it to see if I am missing something I would like. I will take a happy trip to my library to investigate it.

  5. Robin Russo says

    I would so love to win this and have the opportunity to share this with my granddaughter who is learning to garden and is actually very good at for a 10 year old. It is so nice to be able to pass things along to her.

  11. Janet says

    I always enjoy reading your thoughts and ideas. Thank you for putting together such a lovely website…the printables are definitely a favorite of mine, and I rotate them throughout the seasons.

  12. jane brooks says

    Hello Ann

    What a lovely idea to give your readers something lovely for free (again). I so look forward to your emails when i just get myself a cup of coffee and sit down to read them and have a little ‘me’ time. i get lots of lovely ideas, make some delicious food and have some delightful pictures around the house that i can change as the seasons do. keep up the excellent work you do. :)

  14. Bev Donaldson says

    Wonderful site. So many great recipes and decorating ideas. Especially like lavender recipes. I will be baking with my grand daughter before she leaves for college this fall.

  16. Peggy Schroeder says

    Love your site and insights! You have so many good ideas I would like to try. I did order the stuff and made your daisy wreath, but was a little disappointed at first because the greenery was plastic and not silk, but it has held up great. So I guess I am changing my mind about that! Keep up the good work.

  17. Jody says

    I subscribe to many different blogs. While all offer some good inspiration I honestly like yours best. It is simple, classy and your suggestions are doable! I especially love your printables!!

  19. Lisa Floyd says

    What a great idea – a kit for edible flowers. My grandkids would love this because they could see the whole growing process – seed to flower, then pick them and eat them too! Sounds like fun! Would love to win.

  22. Kim Lippard says

    I have just retired and am so excited about FINALLY having the time to start doing some gardening! I love your yard! The pics you have shown and tips you give are so inspirational. The gardening giveaway would be a blessing for sure for me right now.

  25. Deborah W. says

    I love gardening. I couldn’t wait to get to our new home in southern Florida to start planting. Just about everything I’ve tried has died or been eaten up by bugs. I hope to win this and try something new. Thanks!

  28. Anne says

    I’ve always considered myself the proverbial “black thumb” type! I recently retired and have started puttering around with container plants. So far, so good…I haven’t killed anything yet! I’m already gearing up to try a few vegetables next year…getting adventuresome!

    Love your blog! Thank you for sharing!!!

  29. Janis says

    I LOVE your blog/website! I have been motivated to arrange flowers differently, purchase a new vase and choose a dark blue color to repaint our front door! Also, love the printables- I made a beautiful framed print for a gift that was an Irish quote. Thank you!

  30. jeanne bruenderman says

    I think I want to get the flower seeds for edible flowers for my 11 year old granddaughter. She is becoming quite cook and foodie.

  31. Lia says

    HOW BEAUTIFUL! Edible flowers! :)
    And good for YOU and your Friend Stephanie Rose (how apropos) for getting seeds to START!! I have been trying to do that for years. I put them into a wet paper towel in a plastic bag and place them on my window sill…it NEVER works. It’s quite sad actually, I don’t know why I keep doing it. So this may be the way to go! Can’t wait to move into my new house at the end of the month and put some edible flower pots on the patio! Thanks for the post.

  32. Joe-Anne says

    I love that you are decorating the outside as well as the inside! I enjoy gardening a lot – frustrating at times when I like a flower that refuses to grow in sand and heat here in Delaware!

  36. Mary says

    I always look forward to your emails ( I have been learning from them and enjoying them for several years now ). You truly do everything with ” style and grace”.
    Will you still get an actual zucchini growing if you pluck off the flower?

  38. Valerie says

    I’m thrilled! I have always wanted to add edible flowers to salads ( I hear you can sauté zucchini blossoms and they are divine)! I just think edible flowers are so pretty…would love to give it a try!

  39. Jessie Morrow says

    I have been wanting to try squash blossoms! I have begun contained gardening this summer to see if I have a green thumb before I try a full garden. It’s going well so far.

  48. Julie Hahn says

    Love this idea-I have a spot next to our house that I use just for herbs and have plenty of room for these beautiful flowers too.

  49. Sharon Calvert-McKee says

    I harvest from my herb garden, and I grow pumpkins and other vegetables every year, but have never thought about edible flowers. My curiosity is definitely piqued!

  50. Emily Vissers says

    Beautiful flowers while they are growing and then…….fun and delicious to eat. The grandkids will love this project!

  64. Talitha Wright says

    Would love to try growing edible flowers. I’ve never done that before. What a great incentive to start! Thanks.

  66. Brenda says

    I just subscribed to Garden Trends blog. Can’t wait for some fresh ideas.

    Thank you for all the hard work you do and for your wonderful blog.

    Have a wonderful week-end.

  70. Mary Lou says

    My Italian grandmothers would deep fry zucchini flowers in a sweet batter and they were delicious. She would pick the flowers very early in the morning when the flowers were still open

  71. Gloria Pace says

    I have seen edible flowers but have never tried any so this would be a good way to try them…thanks for the opportunity to win some.

  72. Annette says

    I’ve never eaten edible flowers, but I’d love to try. I’ve seen many recipes for them, but never saw them at the market. I will be starting a garden soon and really want to try and grow plants that have such flowers.

  73. Carol Kindt says

    My brother was the one who taught me how to make squash blossom fritters when I used to have a garden full of zucchini. Delicious.

  77. Mary Roth says

    I always enjoy your post on decorating and cooking as well as the recipes and templates to print out. I also enjoy all the other post you share from your talented friends.

  80. Ashley says

    I would have never thought I could eat flowers. I learned something new today and I am going to have to try. Thank you I love your blog.

  83. Brenda Beegle says

    Nasturtiums are my favorite edible flower. Awesome to eat just so!
    Love your tips on all kinds of topics. Thank you!!!

  84. RuthAnn says

    Edible flowers always look so pretty in a food presentation but I have never tried it. Would love too. Thanks for this chance to win. That apron is soooooo cute!! Love it.

  86. Deborah Hoff says

    The addition of edible flowers adds so much to the presentation of a dish, but I have never grown the flowers myself. Great opportunity. Thanks!

  89. karen mendez says

    I love how you tend to make the simple and often mundane things of life (cooking, gardening, housework) beautiful and elegant! I so enjoy reading your posts!

  90. Mary Ann says

    Ann – Love the article on edible flowers! Maybe I’ll get up the nerve to try it one of these days! Also thank you so much for the Botanical Prints! I just enjoy them so much – sometimes I use them in a group of 6 over my bench in our hallway but I also love to use just one or two here and there! Really like what you did with them in your beautiful dining room!

  92. Tyneisha says

    How lovely! This is my first season really getting into gardening and I’ve had some hits, some misses, but most of all a ton of fun!

  95. Mary Lou Hayes says

    I look forward to your weekly e mails. They give me inspiration for decorating, gardening and cooking.

  98. Terri Martin says

    Your posts brighten my day every time I read one. I have tried many of your ideas, some have worked for me and others have not. I read them all because they just make my day brighter. Thankyou for everyone.

  101. Lori says

    Would love to grow edible flowers and the garden apron/trowel set is so cute. Looking forward to your recipes using edible flowers.

  103. Mary E King says

    What a wonderful idea! I adore nasturtiums, although I have had a terrible time getting them to grow. Having one of these kits might help me accomplish that goal! Many years ago I had an Italian girlfriend who introduced me to edible zucchini flowers…they were delicious!

  104. Tammy says

    Anything garden related I’m all in. I just closed up my garden for the summer and getting ready for fall planting.

  105. Regina says

    Thanks so much for this opportunity! I’d love to try growing edible flowers. I grow herbs in pots, and it’s nice to go out and gather ingredients for a meal.
    Have a great day!

  107. Pat Stoughton says

    I read everything in your blog. I enjoy it because there’s no pressure. And learn so much from your little nuggets of wisdom. I have some herbs. Tried Rosemary. First time she died. Second plant didn’t do well over winter. LOL

  108. Beth Bull says

    My garden is exploding this year and I’m learning that I have a green thumb just like my dad and uncle. I’d love to win this and experiment with growing different things. Thanks for the blog you publish. I love reading it!

  109. Karen says

    I have grown calendulas for almost forty years! The original seed came from my mother-in-law’s garden on the farm that my husband grew up on. They have self-seeded ever since! Did not know they were edible! Can’t wait for your recipes!

  110. Liz says

    Ann, I do so enjoy your site. Thank you for so much great info on a wide range of subjects. So many great ideas! Count me in on the give away

  115. PC says

    I would enjoy having either of the giveaways. It will be time to start seeds here soon since we garden in the cooler months. I drink the herbal teas daily and find having “a cuppa” relaxing.

  116. Christy Peeples DuBois says

    I do love this idea. I have started plants from seed a few times over the years. Some were flowering plants and others were garden plants. They all came up fine. But from coming up and being 2 or 3 inches tall to transplanting to the ground something happened and they didn’t make it. I’m not sure what I did wrong.

  117. Linda Valentino says

    An edible garden sounds like fun… The flowers would be beautiful to the eye and yummy on the taste buds!

  118. Karenann says

    I’ve never grown my own edible flowers, but I love when I’m at a restaurant, and they decorate your food with them! They always make the plate look so beautiful, and they taste really delicious! Thank you for such a lovely giveaway opportunity!

  119. Diane says

    I have always been interested in growing edible flowers and this is fantastic. Thanks so much for the information and the opportunity to win!

  122. Zandra says

    I love your blog and really appreciate all of the information that you give us each week. Thank you for all of your wonderful posts, Ann.

  125. Betty Bashaw says

    I enjoy your blog! I found you through So Much Better With Age and the Saturday Tours. Thanks for all of the ideas I’ve gathered from you. :-)

  126. Vickie says

    Willing to try the edible flowers and love the apron and trowel! Thanks for the giveaway. Summer has finally arrived in the Pacific Northwest!

  130. Cheryl Foley says

    I haven’t tried edible flowers; however I believe I would enjoy them. 💚 Thank you for your lovely website and contests.

  131. Denise Carlson says

    Always can find something new to make my out doors a bit more fun. Please enter me into the drawing.
    Thanks, Denise

  138. Tina says

    I love this edible flowers kit! The apron set is beautiful, also. Thank you for the chance to win one of these lovely prizes. This is one of the best sites on the web! Tina

  141. Glitter and Roses says

    I love the idea of serving food with beautiful edible flowers. The trowel and apron are so pretty please enter me in the drawing…thank you

  143. Vicki Best says

    Very cute apron! As for the edible flowers, I would give it a try but just can’t imagine putting them on my hubbies plate. He might have me committed. LOL Unless maybe I served them with bacon.

  144. Gail TF says

    Pansy is probably the first flower my grandmother educated me about. I love to look at them, feel their fuzzy faces, and eat them

  150. Karin says

    Can’t wait for the recipes. Whenever I’m having a bad day, all I need to do is look at your website and my day improves. Thank you for all that you do to make our lives more beautiful.

  152. Pat Atkinson says

    I love, love, love the garden apron and trowel. I didn’t think being out in the garden could get any better until I saw this set. Rocking this would make anyone smile! Thanks for all your great posts.

  153. D Tibbs says

    You are such an inspiration and I love all of your ideas. I am building a home and can’t wait to get in and start making, baking, planting and decorating with all of the wonderful ideas, recipes, gardening and decorating designs you have shared.
    Thank you for everything you share and I can’t wait to get started on my own!

  154. Linda Rubin says

    I love the garden kit you are giving away. It seems working in the garden is a constant. I belong to a garden club and they would be so jealous if I won. Have a happy rest of the summer.

  156. Lollie Christner-Severin says

    Thanks for this post. I have been interested in edible flowers but di not know where to purchase them. Growing my own will be so much fun.

  160. Pam says

    I love using edible flowers in desserts, but I’ve never tried to grow them myself; this may be my chance! One of my most requested desserts is a chocolate kahlua cake with edible flowers on top. It is so easy to make and makes a gorgeous presentation!

  163. Pam says

    Love gardening. I’ve never tried to grow edible flowers, but would love to try! I also have a little bit of an obsession with aprons. Thanks for such an inspiring giveaway!

  166. Tammy says

    It is easier to read about your efforts than go outside in this HEAT WAVE. I think edible flowers are a special touch for dinner guests. Thanks you.

  168. Carol Mayne says

    Edible flowers are being seen on many fancy restaurant presentations! How wonderful that you have brought the same ideas for all of us. You bring such unique and elegant ideas, thank you.

  169. Hilary says

    I love to garden or try to garden. I think I have a black thumb instead of a green one.. Lots of fails..lol. But it never stops me from trying every spring..

  172. Kathy E. says

    The only time I’ve eaten a flower was on a cruise. My fancy meal was decorated with a few and I had to ask if they were edible….of course, they were! I’d never thought of growing my own just to decorate plates and eat, but what a great idea! Super giveaway…thanks!

  174. CathyAnn says

    Gardening is free therapy for sure! It brings so much peace and satisfaction. Thank you for the giveaway opportunity. It would be the perfect summer project.

  175. Kelly says

    Oh how nice a garden give away, this is my favorite relaxation hobby…I love to see things bloom and even weeding (if I keep up) is a simple pleasure. I look forward to your garden and floral posts…

  176. Vincenza Riley says

    Wearing this beautiful apron would lift my spirits 100%. It is not only beautiful, it is colorful, it is living life and would add to anyone’s day!

    Hope that would me…..

  178. Lauren says

    Thanks, Ann, for your posts. I look forward to opening my email on Saturday mornings…it feels like I am visiting with an old friend.

    And speaking of “old”…July 15th is my birthday! It would be fun to win! :-)

  180. Gilda says

    I have searched high and low for years to find non-toxic, edible flowers and now I see that I should just try to grow them myself..concerned with the growing medium, though;;how to find soil with NO toxic components…your article has motivated me to proceed further..thank you!

  183. Ester says

    ¡Hola! Divertido y goloso, me encanta, ya sabía que algunas flores se podían comer, como las capuchinas pero esto es todo un descubrimiento, Seguro que las cultivaría en mi jardín. Gracias y buen apetito.

  184. Stacey Groves says

    I have my first big vegetable garden this year and have discovered it IS therapy! Going out there now! ❤️ Looking forward to the giveaway.

  186. April says

    My daughter and I just started a garden (a little late in the year but we just moved into a new house)! We would absolutely love to try these edible flowers!!! Thank you!!!

  187. Teresa says

    So excited about today’s blog! I loved reading about the edible plants, and cannot wait for my seeds to arrive. Thank you for this opportunity… And so pleased to add Garden Therapy to my list of blogs. Happy Harvesting!

  190. Karen L. Packer says

    I love your blog….everything is so timely and inspiring. I do garden, but like you haven’t started many things from seed. I love my herb garden, so fun to go out and get fresh basil, parsley, thyme, cilantro, oregano or chives. Keep up the good work…..a fellow Ohioan!

  191. Connie Williams says

    I just love this idea! I must admit, I am not a Gardner, but have been wanting to get started. But, where to begin, what do I need?
    What should I plant? Edible flowers may just be the ticket for me to begin!!
    I also happen to LOVE the Apron.
    I love the idea of the small containers, especially to learn with!

    Thank you for offering this giveaway!! Who knows? It might be the push I’ve needed to get started.

  192. GardenTrends says

    Thank you Ann for sharing your experience with the Garden Therapy Edible Flowers Kit. Can’t wait to tune in later this summer to find out how your plants are doing and for your edible flower recipes! Like Stephanie, we hope one has to do with baking :)

  195. Stephanie says

    Hi Ann, thank you so much for growing my Edible Flowers collection – I can’t wait to see what recipes you come up with. I imagine some beautiful floral cakes in the future – ooh, so exciting! No one bakes as pretty as you do. And that apron is just beautiful. Someone is going to be very lucky. xoxoxo
    Stephanie

  196. Mary Roth says

    I love receiving your blogs along with all of your other friends who share decorating, gardening and cooking secrets. I become so inspired by all of you.

  201. Jeannie McCormick says

    I love most everything you blog about. I’m a country girl at heart and I still love gardening, growing herbs and flowers here in south Texas. I was born and raised in rural Oklahoma and Kansas so country is in my blood.

  202. Susan Lupo says

    Anne – I so enjoy opening your emails. I have learned a lot and enjoyed your decorating ideas, gardening
    tips and of course, the recipes! Your ideas and pictures are refreshing and I always feel uplifted after
    seeing them!

  203. Laura says

    I love your edible flowers post! Soup with zucchini flowers and pansies and nasturtium in my salad are some of my favorite dishes. I’m very curious to try of the others!

  204. Marianne says

    Hi Ann
    I shall make it my summer challenge to plant some flower seeds in a planter on my deck. Thanks for your very encouraging post. Marianne

  205. Viv says

    I love flowers. I had heard that some flowers were edible, but I never knew which ones and was too timid to even look into it. Thanks for this info.

  209. Debbie D Smith says

    Thanks for the opportunity to win one of those great prizes!! I’m looking forward to reading your recipes that include your edible flowers!
    I hope you have a wonderful 4th!

  211. Karen Bryan says

    Just lovely! I enjoy looking at all of the beautiful pictures you post. My garden is very tiny but I love getting the taste of fresh tomatoes, zucchini and peppers.

  217. Kim says

    This is such an interesting topic! I confess I really don’t know much about edible flowers, so this was a fun topic! Also loved the blog Garden Therapy!

  218. alicia says

    I have always been intrigued by edible flowers and really never knew how and or where to get them. Kind of exciting to grow your own. Thanks much for blogging about it and sharing some goods ;-) .

  219. Joan Halsey says

    I enjoy starting seeds; such little effort for the joy and beauty you receive when your seed comes to life and you have a beautiful plant. Some plants will give you seeds back when they have finished their season and you can pass these on to friends to enjoy. My nasturtiums are just about finished here in Florida. I have to pick one and taste it. Thanks Ann, for the idea to not only enjoy seeing my flowers but also eating them.

  222. Kimberly says

    I look forward to each and every post. Your style is so inspiring and comforting. Keep up your fabulous blog!

  224. Talia says

    I am so excited with my garden this year. I’ve planted both vegetables (yay tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers!) as well as flowers and all are doing well, despite my lack of a green thumb. Thank you for the give-a-way opportunity. Fingers crossed!

  225. Brenda Crowe says

    Oh, I’d love to win. I’ve been gardening for years. Thanks for the opportunity to enter. I, also, enjoy your emails and your blog.

  226. bookboxer says

    I have been unsuccessful with seed starting in the past … time to change that, it seems! Thank you for the generous giveaway.

  227. Joanne says

    I always look forward to reading your bog. Being Italian, I use zucchini flowers quite often, but have not tried any others. I look forward to seeing your recipes for them in the future. Thank you always for amazing ideas and suggestions.

  228. Kim Irey says

    These edible flowers look awesome! I think I will try them! Thanks for sharing and thanks for offering the chance at the give away gifts!

  230. Agnes Hamilton says

    Ann, I enjoy your practical advice on decorating. Sometimes we forget about our style and want to impose others Style in our home but let’s be comfortable in our home and yet have it tied together beautifully thank you

  232. Susan Beninato says

    Ann, the apron is beautiful!! I would really enjoy wearing it while I’m in my garden and watering my flower pots. The edible flowers are something I haven’t tried, but love the idea. I will read Stephanie’s blog and seriously consider buying the kit. Every plate looks more beautiful with flowers on it and as my Home Economics teacher used to say, “We eat with our eyes as well as our mouths.” Happy Independence Day to you and all your readers.

  235. Kathryn Ammann says

    I love your blog, Ann. Can you help me with an idea for my garden club in regard to a presentation- Cooking and Pampering with herbs.

    Thank you.

    Kathy, from Syracuse, NY

  237. Lorri RAUSCHER says

    Hi Ann,
    Love the apron ..so pretty…Can you believe it..I still have pansies from the spring time. They are doing well .I must have them in a spot that they love. I have seen candied pansies on a cake before, simply beautiful.

  238. Sheila DelCharco says

    Squash flowers will need a lot of room! I’ve made them into breaded cutlets and they are good! Can’t wait to see what recipes you’ll share with us!

  239. Susan says

    I love growing pineapple sage because it’s pretty, but didn’t think it was very useful. I just read that the flowers are great in salads. Can’t wait for it to bloom! Would love to grow more edible flowers.

  244. Lynn says

    Hi Ann

  280. Sandra Baker says

    Hello love! I’d love to win either one of the giveaways. I’ve never started a garden from seeds before either and I’m anxious to see His the edible flowers taste. Thank you so much for all your amazing ideas and tips!

  281. Valerie says

    I think this giveaway of yours is fabulous! Edible flowers are always a fun little surprise in a salad, especially for my grandkinders! At the moment I have both calendula and nasturtiums in the garden, happily growing away. The apron is sweet and beyond! I think I would use it while crafting so it wouldn’t get filthy and spoiled! Thank you for sponsoring this giveaway Ann, and for the opportunity to win!

  284. Kari Cox says

    I love anything gardening-related…the edible flowers would be fun to grow, and the giveaway looks amazing!
    Thank you for the opportunity!

  288. Kelly Reed says

    I’m in south Texas and it would be hopeless for me to try to start any edible flowers right now. Unless of course, I had an air conditioned greenhouse. Then I would be having loads of fun right now. A girl can dream….

  291. Debbie says

    Ann, I look forward each time I see On Sutton Place appear in my inbox and to see what your blog contains! Your ideas are the best from decorating to cooking, it’s always on target. Thanks for the giveaway, your ideas are the BEST!

  292. Debbie Powell says

    Thanks for a chance at winning some great gardening prizes. Thanks also for all the good ideas you share with us. Enjoy the rest of your summer!

  294. Jackie says

    What a fun idea!! I would love to incorporate flowers and food in some way. Thanks for making me aware of this site, and of course, I love your blog and your great ideas!!

  295. Donna Raabe says

    Because of our extreme summer heat if I am fortunate to win these seeds I will wait til fall to plant them so they can grow in the temperate fall/winter season. I do most of my gardening then.

  296. Carole Strawn says

    I love your blog. That gardening apron is really beautiful. I live in Ohio, too, and as you know it is very, very hot right now. Everything is growing like crazy after all the rain and it is difficult to keep up with the weeding, watering and deadheading. Hope you have a great holiday weekend.

  297. Joy says

    I certainly need to take more time to add the the beauty of edible flowers to my summer dishes. Beautiful color and a twist of seasonal whimsey, really work all year long. Thanks you, Ann!

  300. Laurie DeGrace says

    What a beautiful looking salad! The flowers have so many different uses I didn’t know about. Thank you for bringing this and the many other ideas you post to us.

  302. Wendy says

    Although I have not tried them, I love to see edible flowers decorating salads and deserts. I love to garden so would love a chance to win. Thanks!

  303. Cynthia Ernest says

    I love Michel Designs. I have several tea towels by them and have given them as gifts. Love this little trowel and apron. i could use a new trowel. Love the seed starting kits too. Starting seeds can be really daunting. Looks like she’s made it easy.

  304. LaVonne Houser says

    I luv gardening….always dirt under my fingernails! Thanks for the chance to win!
    Blessings, LaVonne

  305. Deborah says

    Oh how fun Ann. I’ve never really grown plans from seeds either. I’ve tried a couple of times but without much luck.

  308. pauline wagner says

    Hi Ann, the botanicals on the apron are lovely (will you e-mail the contact details please? I would like to purchase 2 for Christmas gifts. thank you) I subscribe to Garden Therapy and love Stephanie’s site, her down to earth advice is inspiring and easy to follow.

    On another subject, I gave your book to my daughter-in-law for her birthday, she loves it. As Karen is always revising their home’s look on a budget your book was (is?) a great find for me as it is difficult to choose personal gifts that appeal and not end up in the back of a cupboard as each of us ages and looks at downsizing.

    Bye and thanks for your interesting blog and helpful advise, Pauline

  310. Tresa says

    I didn’t realize there were so many edibles! Will need to give them a try. The apron is gorgeous too.
    Thanks fir the giveaway!

  314. Loanne Harms says

    I’m a newbie to your site but a gardener for decades. We’re in a new house and your ideas are inspiring. Thanks so much.

  315. L Trent says

    I’ve been interested in edible flowers as they appear in food magazines etc, but didn’t know where to get them or how safe they were. What better peace of mind than to grow your own. The kits look like a fun family project. Thanks for the info!

  318. Barbara Holmes says

    Thank you so much for your give away. I love getting your E-mails and seeing all your beautiful things. Thank you for all the free printables.

  319. Rachel W. Robbins says

    I’ve always wanted to try growing edible flowers, but have been sort of afraid to try it. Now, I’m definitely going to try!

  324. Becky M says

    There was a time when I grew edible flowers for salads, etc. but we moved to a condo and my space is limited now. I do believe I would have enough room for this kit! Love your blog Ann!

  325. Doreen says

    Haven’t tried most of your variety of edible flowers, but have had zucchini flowers. My husband’s family is from Italy and they is something they got me and my children hooked on! Can’t make them often, but have to make then at least once every season — fried zucchini flowers. Both plain and ricotta lemon stuffed. So delicious. Also very good in zucchini risotto! Thank you for a great blog!

  327. Karen Boice says

    Always look forward to receiving your e-mails which contain such helpful tips, delicious recipes to make together with decorating tips and links if we’re interested in finding something similar. Letting us know that you have never started growing from seeds gave me the courage to try and do the same. Fingers crossed that I may be selected for either of the give-aways. Thanks Ann for all the effort you put into your posts

  328. Susann says

    I love the apron and trowel. These seed kits would be perfect for my two granddaughters who both love gardening!
    Thanks for sharing such useful ideas.

  331. Maria C says

    Ann, I enjoy receiving and reading your blog in my inbox. Thank you for the giveaway and all the art and recipes you post.

  339. Karin says

    I’ve always wanted to grow edible flowers. It will be fun reading how it goes with you. Ant wait for the recipes.

  341. Nan Martino says

    So Anne, I live right down the road, (Interstate 75,) from you, in Sidney, Ohio. It thrills me to know we are neighbors, well sort of! I have shared your delightful and inspiring site
    With many of my family and friends. I save you till last when I read my emails, so I can luxuriate in your ideas.
    Now I will head in to read your July 4th 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 inspirations.

  343. Mary Stewart says

    I’ve read about edible flowers but have never really seen a site that went into detail about them. I like the idea of purchasing a kit. Thanks for the giveaway – I’m linking over to GardenTrends now!

  345. Elizabeth O’Day says

    Ann, I have been reading your blog for about a year now, and your approach to daily living, decorating, gardening, cooking, etc is so appealing to me. It keeps me coming back. I hesitate to name what your approach is, because it is uniquely you, but here are a few things I experience in readingg your blog: a no hype, no nonsense, consistent set of instructions, downloadables (I love your 2018 calendar) and advice. Thank you for sharing your world with us, Elizabeth O’Day

  346. Bette says

    Perhaps if I would win the garden apron/trowel set from Michel Design Works, I might be happier about the weeding portion of gardening!!!!!

  347. Chris Bonnes says

    I love your site! Everything is so beautiful, simple and refreshing. I especially like and appreciate the free printables. Thank you.

  349. Laura says

    Several years ago, my son introduced me to edible flowers. He takes zucchini flower stuffed it with a filling and fried it. Oh my! What a culinary delight! It was one of the most delicious tastes that my mouth had experienced. Even my 4 years old granddaughter gobbled them up. I’m excited to learn about recipes with edible flowers.

  350. Laura Harrie says

    Oh Ann, edible flowers sound like a fun thing to grow, such a good idea! Can’t wait for your flower inspired recipes!

  352. Donna says

    I love the edible garden! I would love to try doing it for my family…have a wonderful summer.
    PS…I love your site!!

  353. Vicki Morley says

    WOW!!!!! I would LOVE to ⚡️Shock⚡️ My 17 yr old son w/ some edible plants in his food!!!!!! LOL!!!! He is getting into cooking!!! The look on his face would be priceless!!!!!
    But……I could sure use a new trowel too. (Broke mine last week and it had belong to my mom *sigh*).
    Either prize is a keeper!!!!!

    P.S. Just Love your Blog!!!!!💐🌺🌻

  354. Shannon Mattingly says

    Edible flowers intrigue me but I’ve never experimented with them. This would be a great opportunity to do that. Thanks for all you do! Your posts are always beautiful!

  358. Beth Beard says

    Love your posts Ann and can’t wait to read them! I have made so many of your recipes and they are always a hit! Now I want to grow edible flowers too. You are such an inspiration.

  359. Pam Bradshaw says

    Oh Ann that garden apron is gorgeous. It is my colors! I love it. You find the neatest things. I so need one of these for working in my flowers. It’s beautiful and functional as well.
    The seed kits look like fun to try. I’m like you, never started seeds indoors like this. Can’t wait to see what recipes you come up with.
    Thanks for the opportunity to win one of your gifts. Happy Week🌸🦋🌸
    🌼🐝🌼 🌺🏡🌺 💙💜💛💚😊😊

  360. Carolyn Waterbury says

    Oh Ann!
    I love the idea of growing flowers for using in food. Nasturtiums and borage are my favorite. Love putting them in ice cube trays.
    I really enjoy your blog.
    It is so neat that you can do what you love
    and share it with people who admire you.
    Thanks so much for sharing so much of yourself .
    Carolyn

  363. Miriam Reese says

    Your blog today reminds me of my mom. Every year she would order seed packets and eagerly plant her seeds and wait for the beautiful flowers to bloom. I guess I get my love of flowers from her. My favorites were nasturtiums and zinnias.

  364. Gerry says

    Ann, your post arrives early morning and I read it right away. It is a great way to start my day. You are an inspiration to many people, me included. Thank you for all your wonderful ideas in the home and garden.

  367. Joanne Cassidy says

    You have such a sweet site, I look foward to each and every article. Edible flowers, I’m in!
    I’m a 64 year old Mom of four. Never had an outdoor garden as a child, and my Mother was into silk flowers! We have a townhome in the city and bought a small two bedroom beach bungalow 23 years ago! The beach house has a totally cemented back yard and about a 4 foot strip of grass alongside one side of the house. So, we put our tomato plants in over the years, brussel sprouts and peppers..even a few pumpkins..(and never totally successful)! I can still hear my little ones running into our front door, yelling: “Mommy, there’s “veggiebals” coming out of the dirt in our garden!”. THE SWEETEST MEMORY I have of our gardening days was finding my SALT SHAKER THAT DISAPPEARED sitting atop the gas meter (which was a few feet from the last tomato cage) from our littlest one who would take the tomatoes right off the bush, salt them and enjoy as she watched them grow! (This was the one and only cherry tomato plant we had, but she said it was “a little girl plant”!)
    We still have the pleasure of our last two college kids working the summers here.. the old little “couple of plants, garden” is still entact! I’m now older, more time on my hands, not that busy Mom of four little ones.. but, still such a NOVICE GARDENER.. and still reading about, and making my notes, TO HAVE THE GARDEN THAT IS NOTICABLE FOR BEING THE SMALLEST BUT CUTEST GARDEN BY THE MANY Beach Daytrippers as they pass our bungalow on the way to the beach!
    (Our home was noted for having the CHALK HOPSCOTCH–drawn both ways (my girls would draw girly designed hop scotch designs–one facing as people passed our home going TO the beach, and one, facing walking home FROM the beach..)..they would even make little fish bean bags (filled with whatever we had in the kitchen cupboards.. leaving it on the ground near their drawings..)..They would love to sit on our little porch and spy..watching the older people comment in excitement, and jumping..while the younger children didn’t know what it was..(and to mention, which is funny now, we have a strip of stones in the drive so when the children were really young, they’d use the stones as the bean bag..MANY DINGS IN OUR CAR FROM OVERTHROWING!! (and passerbys overthrowing)..
    ANYWAY….. just memories to last a lifetime, and a garden “waiting to be” in the future.. (I’m no hreen thumb, but trying!)

  368. Carla Bove says

    I absolutely love 💕 On Sutton Place! I look forward to receiving your E-mails and learning something new. I am newly retired and the information and recipes you share is such an added bonus to my relaxation! Thank you so much Ann! You are amazing!

  369. Linda says

    I love your blog. It is so beautiful and informative. I admit you really transported me today and I am so thankful. My dad used to plant edible flowers in his vegetable garden. He particularly loved his nasturtiums. We would visit every plant and he was so proud of the beauty he created. Thank you for a special memory.

  371. Mariann says

    Ann, I think that is a wonderful idea for a give-a-way and so sweet of you to do this. I would love to be one of the recipients for such a delightful prize. Aside from watching things grow, I do like to get my hands into dirt and plant flowers from time to time. The little pots would be a charm for me to work with and so much fun.Anyway, wishing you the best Fourth ever and good luck to the winners. Smiles from Tn.

  372. Debbie Taylor says

    I’m so glad i found you’re blog. I enjoy the posts tremendously. This year my husband and I been to build a garden in our court yard that is reminiscent of an English cottage garden. Lots of work to build upon in coming years. We have talked of adding edible flowers next year along. This give -away would be a tremendous help for us.

  373. Kay Steiner says

    I have never tried edible flowers but upon reading your article I think it is something I would like to try. I love your choice of prizes for your giveaway. Michel Designs have always been one of my favorite home designers and what fun to have a gift certificate to spend like a kid in a candy store.

  374. Mary Sullivan says

    Happy July 2018! I love waking up to read your blog posts. My home has literally transformed into a showplace because of you! I love the printables especially, so keep those coming. I buy frames in all different sizes whenever I see ones that I love, doesn’t matter the color, cause I know I can change that. Your recommendation of whitewash cardstock was epic in my printing. Many of my friends have been the recipient of some of your printables. Thank you for all you do for those of us less creative.

  375. Barbara says

    Ann, thank you for your wonderful ideas and inspiration. Although currently living in Iowa, I was born and raised on a farm in northern Ohio and so relate to the many references you make to your location. I so enjoy your blog and feel we are good friends since I share so many of the family values and passion for establishing and maintaining a beautiful home on a budget that Is the foundation of your bog. I also have lost my dear mother and my husband and I are empty nesters. Keep up the great work!

  376. Nori Nitschk says

    So timely! I am hosting Bunco this month….and while the seeds won’t have grown up enough to have flowers for my party…I have had the thought in my brain since May to make ice cubes with flowers in them and also Tom make this cute watermelon pizza dessert that is a reianular slice of watermelons with a whipped cream/cream sheese spread topped with fresh berries and sprinkled with edible flowers! I will take your blog as a sign that I need to make this light dessert using edible flowers!!! Thanks, Ann❤️

  378. Patti Couey says

    Good Morning Ann! What a great way to start my day by reading your blog! You have given me much more than information since I started following you. I have found optimism, humor and inspiration in your writing. And I want to thank you for that! The beautiful garden apron and seed starting kits would make lovely Christmas gifts for my gardening friends….and myself!!
    Thanks once more…Patti

  379. Jaci Dryanski says

    Love your site! Your ideas are inspirational and fresh. I look forward to your emails and save them to reference them later.

    Thank you!

  383. Debbie says

    Mrs. Drake, I love your webpage!! The ideas and recipes you share are terrific. I have 4 raised garden beds that I started later than usual. I am in Middle TN and our weather is a bit different from your’s times I imagine. We had a baby deer born in the middle of o backyard 3 Sat. ago Later that week he was napping in 1 of them from 6 am till about 10 am. I will take him over veggies any day!!

  384. Kay says

    Love your blog Ann, and appreciate all your great ideas and easy instructions. Your homemade vanilla was a big hit as Christmas favors, and i love that you so often include free printables with your projects! I wish I could start seeds indoors, but our very curious kitty has foiled previous attempts, sigh. For me, gardening has to be outside. I appreciate all your work to bring us practical, doable projects!

  386. Jill says

    Ann, I have tried to sow vegetables from seeds with minimal success. I’m curious to try the kit just to see if I could be successful. You make everything look easy!

  388. Charmaine says

    I have grown nasturtiums and pansies, but haven’t used them in salads or other dishes. I remember a restaurant near Brevard, NC, that I visited with my parents when they lived there. It was a tiny local treasure tucked away in a wooded area near the SC state line. Every meal included some type of edible flower garnish…beautiful and tasty.

    I have prepared your recipes for lavender lemon bread and lavender shortbread cookies. My book club friends loved them! I’ll be looking forward to your recipes for the edible flowers!

  389. Susan Cecere says

    I love edible flowers. I had used some organically grown ones to decorate my daughter’s favorite cake, when she graduated college. They were pricey at the time, so I would love to grow my own. These kits would make wonderful gifts. Thank you for bringing them to us.

  390. yvonne says

    thank you for your friendly site.whenever i read it i always get enthused. even though ive never met you in person,i consider you a friend.

  396. Sandra A Parker says

    Like lots of people I click on many blogs and websites if an item interests me only to regret signing up later when the regular email posts provide zero information of value. They got the click, I got nothing. Your blog and emails are one of the few I save, read as soon as received, and enjoy. Very tasteful, artfully crafted and photographed. Somtimes I just enjoy looking but I usually find an item of practical use that does not require a trip to the craft store or specialty food store. Overall enjoy and look forward to your posts.

  397. Doreen says

    I have not grown plants from seeds since I was a kid.This kit is so cute and would be fun to try.Good luck with yours Ann.

  399. Vincenza Riley says

    What a wonderful read to wake up to this morning! Lovely idea for your loyal customers. The apron and trowel is a wonderful idea and I’m sure would be welcomed by all who sees it. If not a winner, where and how can we purchase this lovely gift??

  402. Mary Beadles says

    I love your blog. I am a newbie to gardening so your tips are always appreciated. Love when you include recipes from time to time. Your blog is classy.

  405. Terri Herman says

    Thanks Ann! I can always expect something interesting from your emails! I, too, love gardening but haven’t had the time recently with our home remodel & caring for my grands but I’m sure time will allow in the future. Until then- I’m pinning your ideas! Have a blessed day!

  406. Denise :) says

    I love edible florals…they’re so much fun when making a pretty tea party presentation! Seriously, when your petit fours are topped with pansies and your open-faced cucumber tea sandwiches are sprinkled with nasturtium petals, how much more decorating do you really need??! These kits are really nifty and sweet; I’m going to have to check them out!

  407. White Jorjana says

    Good Morning Ann,
    I love your site! I printed your watercolor herbs and they hang in my kitchen. I think of you each time I look at them. Thank you!!!!
    Please keep recipes coming… they are wonderful.

  408. Marjory Woodburn says

    This is such a lovely offer and I look forward to the “season-end “ recipes! I really enjoy your blog
    And look forward to the level offered. I enjoy watching HGTV, but we are so past the heavy duty dyi that your blog suits to a tee!

  410. Macy Allen says

    I saw the prettiest jello cake that used edible flowers, thanks for the post! And many returns on ours garden!

  411. Sue says

    This is really great! I like this idea because I’ve always wondered which flowers you can eat. It’d be a perfect garden. Thanks for this idea, I can’t wait for recipes for these flowers 🌸. You always seem to have wonderful ideas and taste. I really appreciate your blogs. Thanks and have a wonderful summer!

  412. Polly says

    Love the edible flowers ! Squash blossoms are my favorite but never tried to grow them on my own. The apron reminds me of my mother 😇, so adorable . Thank you for all your wonderful ideas and sharing them with all of us 🌸🌼

  414. Jeri Baker says

    This year I’m enjoying my small herb garden and a small bed for cutting flowers. I love going out early and cutting some flowers as the butterflies flit about. I have not tried edible flowers. I look forward to some recipes. I really enjoy your blog 🌻

  416. Pat says

    Ann, I’ve been following you for a while. In fact, your blog was the first and the best!!!! Still enjoying reading about your adventures, especially your “favorites”. Thanks, and enjoy your summer.

  419. Cindy says

    Hi, thank you so much for all of your gardening tips! Winning either prize would be a fun gift! Enjoy your summer

  421. Michelle T Ross says

    Lovely article. Now I just need to find someone to use a backhoe to remove the trees (yes, seedling but trees none the less) from the “cutting garden” Although, the only thing you could cut in there is…weeds. Sigh Fall cannot come soon enough. Here in Alabama, it is too hot most days to spend much time in the gardens.
    Good luck everyone!

    Michelle

  422. Karen Robbins says

    I really enjoyed this post. I hadn’t heard of Garden Therapy before. All of the kits are interesting. I will be ordering one as soon as I decide which one I want. Thanks for telling us about this company and their blog.

  423. Carol J. says

    Violets that had been sugar coated were placed on the top of individual chocolate mousse servings for guests at a wedding shower I hosted years ago. Some guests realized they were edible and they were so pretty.

  424. Suzie Clark says

    What a great idea! I have a wonderful vegetable garden this year that I truly enjoy. Can’t wait to learn about edible gardens! Thank you for inspiring me.

  426. Pat Stoughton says

    I love your blog and have been with you for a long time. Since I don’t have a house, it’s impossible to do the wonderful suggestions in one. (I live in a tiny mobile home.)

    However, I have two dollhouses and everything can be made in miniature. So I take your decorating suggestions and incorporate them into my dollhouses at 1:12 scale. This way, I can do almost all of your suggestions.

    So thanks for all of the great information, whether it’s something we eat or gaze at!

  430. Nancy Heuring says

    Ann, you have amazing subject matter which is so refreshing to read. I don’t remember how I stumbled across your blog, but so glad I did. My husband & I (both in our golden years) are in the process of moving into a new home & I have seen so many of your inspirations that I plan on implementing in our home. Keep up the good work & thanks for sharing your experiences, decorating ideas, recipes & your HOME. Sure wish we were neighbors!

  431. Patti says

    Thank you for the gracious opportunity to win your great giveaway!
    I always look forward to Sundays for a new blog post from you.

  433. Robin Russo says

    This has been something I’ve wanted to try for awhile. I’ve seen many articles and beautiful photos of desserts and dishes created using edible flowers. I must admit I really love the apron, but when my granddaughter saw it she fell in love with it. I’ve pass my passion of gardening down to her. I love reading all of your articles and recipes that you share. You are one of my all time favorites…

  434. Jane says

    I purchased one of these for my daughter for Mother’s Day after seeing it on your site! She loves it. Wish I had one…😀

  435. Karen says

    Love the idea about this edible flower kit. I have grown nasturtiums before. The apron is too pretty to get dirty and I love it.

  437. Jody says

    That apron is to die for. Just love the flowers and the pink. The edible flowers are thought provoking. Never knew you could grow them.
    You always surprise us with your well thought out emails.

  441. Carolyn Wesolowski says

    I love this idea of growing an edible garden. I planted my first garden this spring, crossing my fingers and praying I get an abundance of veggies!
    I love to cook and bake so I think I’ll try out the edible garden.
    I love your blog! It inspires me to try new things and gives me great ideas! I’ve been following you for a couple of months or longer now.

  442. Susan Lyon says

    I enjoy reading your blog. This one is appealing because are moved to a climate that while the growing season is shorter, more flowers and vegetables flourish here. Thank you for sharing your interests with us.

  447. Virginia says

    I especially enjoy your blog because I am a Ohio gardener as well. I love the gardening apron! I recently started wearing aprons in the kitchen (I don’t know what took me so long). After seeing this beautiful gardening apron, I think I’m going to have to look into expanding my love of apron wearing to the outdoors.

  450. Kathryn Anthony says

    Thank you, Ann, you have given me the inspiration to try something new! I look forward to planting some edible flower seeds and serving meals with a pretty addition to the plate. 🌸🌼🥗

    You always seem to have so many beautiful ideas and printable pieces that fit my lifestyle. I truly look forward to each day knowing you will have something fun and useful for me.

  454. Jean says

    I’d never thought about growing edible floweres but your beautiful photos and clear instructions are an inspiration to me! And that apron looks practical and so pretty too !

  455. Kathy M. says

    Love to use bright colored nastursium and calendula petals in a cream cheese spread I make for summer picnics. So pretty. Thanks for the interesting article.

  457. TALITHA F WRIGHT says

    Seed kits are so handy–especially if you are “gardening challenged”! Can’t wait to try these out. Thanks for the chance.

  458. Victoria Noble says

    Oooh! What a great idea to grow edible flowers! A perfect means to decorate summer desserts and to look beautiful in the garden as well. Lovely idea!

  459. Jo says

    Thank you, Anne! You and Stephanie have such wonderful sites. I have tried many ideas from both and look forward to your emails!

  461. Kirsten says

    I hopped over to the Garden Therapy site to check it – what a beautiful site! I have added it to my favorites as I have been wanting to branch out in my gardening and I see many great ideas there. Thanks for the post on edible flowers and for introducing your readers to another great resource.

    My daughter was having trouble with her cut hydrangeas lasting. I remembered your post about that issue and shared it with her. Now she is a happy girl!

  475. Carole says

    I labor be gardening, but haven’t thought about trying edible flowers. I would love to grow some.
    I love the apron. I really enjoy your blog. Keep the articles coming.

  476. Hurder Kathleen says

    What a fab idea! I always feel so special when I receive edible flowers at a restaurant!
    I’m looking forward to growing some at home!!
    Merci beaucoup!

    Heirloom nasturtiums are my absolute favorite edible flower! So bright and peppery. Have a fun and safe 4ht of July!

    These edible flowers look so interesting. These would definitely expand my gardening techniques! Summer and plants outside is my favorite time of year. You can’t have too many plants!
