Unusual edible plants, grown to be rediscovered.

The Forgotten Garden

Plants that have slipped out of ordinary gardens.

Some were once familiar sights in cottage and kitchen gardens. Others have long histories elsewhere but never found a permanent place in the modern British garden. The Forgotten Garden exists to keep these useful, curious and sometimes downright strange edible plants growing.

The older site described the aim simply: rediscover rare edible plants, explore what people used to grow, understand why those plants mattered, and find out which of them can still earn a place in gardens today.
