Stephen Barstow

Stephen Barstow has devoted thirty years to trialing perennial vegetables from around the world. It is unlikely that anyone anywhere has tried as many different species of edible plants – just witness his salad comprising 538 varieties in 2003 – earning him the title of ‘Extreme Salad Man’! Stephen’s garden in Norway has over 2,000 edible plants, and each has an ethnobotanical story to tell.
