Edibles
Fruit, vegetables, nuts, herbs and mushrooms have long inspired botanical artists. They nourish people and wildlife, enrich our gardens and landscapes, and reveal an extraordinary diversity of form, colour and texture.
Vegetables – plants or plant parts used as food.
Fruits – the seed-bearing structures of flowering plants, many of which are edible.
Nuts – hard-shelled fruits containing often edible seeds.
Herbs – plants valued for culinary, medicinal or aromatic uses.
Mushroom – the fleshy, spore-producing fruiting body of certain fungi, typically consisting of a cap and stalk.
