FARMACY AND THEIR FLORALS

Plant-based restaurant Farmacy will be celebrating plant-power in more ways than one for the Chelsea Flower Show this year. A selection of their signature breakfast options are getting all floral and fancy. Bedecked with edible blooms, these dishes are good both for the body and the earth. Our favourite are the Chocolate Chip Warrier Waffles. Made from 100 % gluten free oats, protein and chia seeds with berries, house-made Nutella and coconut ‘yoghurt’.
