Flowers do more than decorate a garden when summer starts slipping toward autumn. Several colorful blooms can bring fresh flavors to the kitchen, extend the harvest season, and add a little garden excitement when many plants start slowing down.
Edible flowers create a fun connection between the overflowing days of summer and the cozy flavors of fall cooking. From salads and desserts to herbal teas and dinner garnishes, these blossoms can turn an ordinary meal into something that feels like a special occasion.
