Often, when we think of chives, we think of delicious meals. We group them in with other edible plants that add flavour to our meals. Chives are part of the Allium family (many of which are edible), like garlic, leeks and scallions. But chives are also a beautiful species with light and feathery blooms.
Syston’s Central Park has a number of these in the peace garden, where they can be seen in their full glory during May. Be sure to check them out. Also be sure to consider some members of the allium family for your garden and reap the benefits of beautiful plants that also serve as a tasty addition to your meal!
