Eating your garden - James Wong guides us through eating your dahlias and hostas.

Getting to the heart of country life with a look at individual farming endeavours.

Eating your garden - the ethnobotanist James Wong guides us through eating the many edible plants in our gardens. There are many crops that we could be growing for food but don't think of eating, because we regard them as ornamental flowers. Dahlia tubers are edible and make a good alternative to potatoes, while hosta shoots are a delicacy in Japan.

Presented by James Wong and produced by Emma Weatherill.
