We were granted funding from the London Capital Growth Project to create an edible garden in our community garden. We are growing tomatoes, strawberries, a selection of beans, nasturtiums, spinach, a wide variety of herbs and are currently starting off small squashes.
Varieties of herbs currently planted which will bring colourful flowers and scent to the garden are:
Camomile (soothing and calming and makes lovely tea)
Dill, Fennel, Oregano, parsley (flavouring)
Chives (chopped in salads)
Cardamom (uplifting aromatic herb)
Chicory (add with other salad leaves)
Mint - basil, peppermint, apple, spearmint (lovely for tea and Pimms!)
Thyme - Broadleaf, Gold, Lemon, Common, Silver Queen (flavouring)
