Among the many glories of the Lost Gardens of Heligan are the remarkable productive gardens. Over a million visitors have been entranced by the serried rows of vegetables ranged out before them, and have fallen to dreaming of a little part of Heligan in their own gardens - and, equally important, on their own tables.
This beautiful book brings that dream a little closer to reality. It covers an impressive range of old varieties, saved by enthusiasts from the onslaught of supermarket giants and the EU and, now flourishing again at Heligan, puts them to the ultimate test: that of flavour. It draws on a collection of beautiful photographs recently taken in the productive gardens, and on the Heligan team's wealth of experience both of cultivation and of the culinary arts.
All devotees of Heligan who want to know their Golden Wonder from their Salad Blue, their Scarlet Emperor from their Czar, and their Painted Lady from their Lazy Wife, will find 'The Heligan Vegetable Book' an irresistible guide to growing and bringing to the table a fabulous range of traditional varieties.
