I had no idea violets were edible! The leaves and stem too? Or just the flower? Also I love, love, love that you pointed out that their garden was the best place to play hide and seek. That's absolutely what my siblings and I would have noticed in a place like that. Brought back memories.

Thanks for your reply 🥰 It’s just the flowers that are edible.

I have some that have just popped up in my garden so I’m going to have my first go at making sugared violets this year.

Beautiful piece. I love violets too. They were my dad’s favourite flower.

Thank you - you're such an encourager! I would have loved to have had a tour of your dad's garden with him. It would have been fascinating xx
