About the Author

Cathy Wilkinson Barash is a lifelong organic gardener. She has written many books but is best known as the author of Edible Flowers from Garden to Palate, which Martha Stewart described as "very excellent." Recently, she moved to an apartment in a historic building near downtown Des Moines and started growing--mostly tomatoes and edible flowers--in large containers outdoors. She experiments with growing vegetables and fruit indoors to harvest through the winter.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Cathy Wilkinson Barash was born on Long Island, New York in 1949 and spent much of her life there. She is a life-long organic gardener. From childhood she has held firm a belief in economy of space and time in the garden mainly by planting edibles among ornamentals, “so many fruits, vegetables, and herbs are beautiful themselves”—instead of relegating them to the back 40. Anne Raver of The New York Times was the first to call her a “gourmet horticulturist,” as she practices edible landscaping—specializing in edible flowers—and is a gourmet cook.

A freelance photographer, writer, designer, and professional speaker, Cathy is best known as the author of "Edible Flowers from Garden to Palate," which Martha Stewart described as "very excellent." Published in 1993, "Edible Flowers" was nominated for a Julia Child Cookbook Award and garnered an Award of Excellence from the Garden Writers Association.

Beautiful Book.
Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2019
I am grateful for this book. Cathy is spot on with her comment that many gardening books have an east coast bias. So often plants which appear in a catalog to be appropriate to our harsh conditions end up failing. Lobelia might appear appropriate for zone 6a in a catalog, but on the plains and prairies it may actually be suited for only spring. This book contains tried and true varieties and species. I appreciate that Cathy identifies particular varieties, so that you learn what is suitable. For example a Wave Petunia is perhaps better suited for success than other varieties, so she recommends them. Looking forward to reading her other books.

Great pictures and some helpful hints. Covers a large area and several zones. Many suggestions were to order plants from online sources which I am sure is fine but i would prefer to stick to plants at the local nursery. 4 stars as this book could easily have been larger with more suggestions. At the end of the day I felt this was an introductory guide to midwest gardening ready for a more advanced book.
