How to Preserve your EDIBLE FLOWERS // What Time of Day is Best to Pick Flowers?

How to Preserve your EDIBLE FLOWERS to use throughout the year. I grow a lot of edible flowers in my urban permaculture garden. That way I not only have plenty of flowers for the bees but also lots of beautiful edibles to brighten up any meal. Edible flowers have so many health benefits and valuable nutritional qualities. Flowers don't often last long on the plant and a great way to preserve and harness their energy is to press or dry them. This way you can make infused oils, herbal teas and still have beautiful bright flowers to use throughout the year.
In the video, I show you how I press or dry my edible flowers and why I choose each technique.

Thanks! Your video is informative and helpful! Do you think is ok to save and preserve flowers in June to be used in February? Thanks!

Can I put them in ice cubes then just melt the ice cubes whenever I wanna use them?

I loved this inspirational video. Especially the carrot leaf. It would make a great Christmas 🎄 card

Thank you! The carrot leaf is my favourite 🌿 just like a fern. They would! Once you have preserved your flowers you can get creative on slow days.
