Stylish and celebratory, The Elegant and Edible Garden takes food growing to a higher plane. Host of The Potager Blog (@potagerblog), author and garden stylist Linda Vater, shares her vision for creating a garden space where food and flowers grow side by side. Known as a potager, these gardens are formal in their framework yet flexible and personal in their edible yields. A potager garden is both lovely to look at and productive. Doubling as an outdoor living area, it is also the perfect place to entertain family and friends.

Inside you’ll learn:

How to grow flowers, fruits, veggies, and herbs together en masse
The function of symmetry in a potager garden
Ways to create visual harmony and match the style of the garden to its surroundings
Tips for blending your family’s needs and lifestyle into the garden
Advice on how to utilize focal points and garden ornaments in your garden’s layout
The importance of rhythm, repetition, and harmony in potager design
How to position garden structures with practicality and purpose in mind
Where to put your potager for not just convenience but also to create a destination
Best practices for growing your beautiful new garden organically

Create a garden that rejoices in seasonality while still allowing your style and personality to shine. The Elegant and Edible Garden is a vision of the very best things a garden can offer: food, beauty, connection, and a place to breathe.
