GrowingaPotagerGarden Beauty and function intersect to form an aesthetically pleasing place where both culinary and fresh flower needs are met at once in the kitchen garden, or potager. The term potager comes from France, the birthplace of this time-honored tradition. More formal than a standard vegetable patch, a potager is often the central feature of a structured garden space. Pictured here is an English-style potager where herbs, small vegetables and cut flower varieties, many of which are edible, intermingle beautifully. Mother and daughter delight in hosting tea parties together in this space. CLICK HERE to explore more potager history and find garden party recipes.
