London: Kenneth Greenway is inundated with requests for the foraging courses that he runs at the Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park in east London.

The city skyline is visible in the distance from among the gravestones, where the dead were laid to rest for more than 100 years from 1841 to 1966.

But the main attraction is the wild rocket, nettle and other edible herbs that have sprung up around them.

Greenway -- who is 47 and has spent 22 working at the park -- says a cemetery is the perfect place for foraging.

"You can't just get machinery in and trim it all. So, things are allowed to grow," he said.
