My attention was drawn today to two articles in which my word Edimentals featured (made up in the late 2000s):
EDIMENTALS AT CHELSEA FLOWER SHOW
EDIMENTALS AT CHELSEA FLOWER SHOW
“Edimental plants that are both edible and ornamental have emerged as a star of the Chelsea Flower Show.”
The article from the Daily Telegraph about this year’s Chelsea Flower Show can be read in the 3 pictures!
The second article had actially been published last year on the BBC Food site. Here’s the link to “The low-maintenance edible garden for lazy gardeners” which both mentions Edimentals and credits me with the word!

This is so cool. We saw on BBC London the 80%-edibles garden transplanted, after the CFS, to a school garden. The kids love the garden. It was fantastic also because it is calm, largely low maintenance & drought resistant, too. Most handy since most schools have no gardener & only volunteers or one care-taker during the summer holidays.
Excellent!
I made a list of edible perennials including many edimentals for a school forest garden project here in Trondheim a year or so ago. I’m currently translating it to English for a permaculture group working with kids in my home town (Eastleigh, Hants). I will probably make it available for anyone on my blog when it’s done.
