All you can eat: Couple open magical edible garden

Nettle cake, anyone? The way forager and garden designer Kloë Wood describes her version of it, you’ll be asking for seconds. Like a Jamaican ginger cake, it’s moist and has a stickiness to it, but it’s also velvety, bright green and utterly delicious, she says.

And it’s packed full of nutrients. Nettles contain more protein than most leafy greens and they are full of iron. Kloë Wood and Adam Carveth, a Royal Horticultural Society-trained gardener, are so excited by nettles that they have found a way of harvesting them year-round to use in pestos, pizza, lots of nettle cake, even homebrewed beer.
