Perennial Vegetables: How to Encourage Their Greater Adoption Ben Caesar
Sunday, 22 June, 2025
Ben Caesar of Fiddlehead Nursery (Ontario) champions perennial vegetables through hands-on demonstration, workshops, and outreach. He highlights common yet underutilized edible perennials—like hostas, soup greens (fuki, Turkish rocket), Egyptian onions, and seedless sorrel—while making them accessible by discussing cultivation, nutrient density, and seasonal benefits. He emphasizes spring “hunger‑gap” yields, low-maintenance ground covers, and ecological resilience.Ben also shows multiple culinary uses—tempura, salads, sauces—and engages people via tasting garden tours, social media, books, and propagation workshops. His approach is practical, informative, and inspiring for anyone wanting a productive, sustainable, and diverse edible landscape.
