The Garden of Eva’s American Southern products are built for picnics!
Eva Thorne, the founder of The Garden of Eva, grew up pickling and preserving with her Virginia-born mother, Tina, three seasons out of four and she is excited to bring these authentic, Southern flavours to the UK. Their products are in independents, Whole Foods Market UK, and now, Selfridges!!
Chow Chow (pickled relish beloved across the South): A dollop or two of chow chow makes potato salad, pasta salad, chicken salad, or tuna salad pop. Honest Burgers used it to make a monthly special – a New Orleans fried chicken sandwich that outsold other monthly burger specials at the time.
Chili-watermelon jam (named by Whole Foods Market UK’s 2024 Food and Drinks Trends for complex heat) is a great, zest sandwich spread. Or try it with cheese.
The 2-star Great Taste award-winning, handcrafted pickled watermelon rind is great with cheese and charcuterie. It also goes great with barbecued ribs and pulled pork!

Eva Thorne, the founder of The Garden of Eva, has a son, Brooks. He enjoyed his several years playing rugby for London Scottish, which is based in Richmond, London. He doesn’t play now but learned important skills from his time with Scottish! He may find his way back onto the pitch again!
