(More customer reviews)The french seem to know how to enjoy life. They have even created their kitchen gardens as works of art. I looked long to find a good book on potagers with pictures of real french gardens after reading "Four-Season Harvest" by E. Coleman. And here they are!
More of a coffee table book of beautiful photos of gardens then a how to/design book. But still full of great ideas that will get you motivated and reworking your garden immediately.
These gardens are very functional and very lovely. Not as structured as others, which I rather liked.

Kitchen gardens are a long-standing French tradition. Each region has areas which - depending on climate, terrain and design - boast a range of vegetables, fruit, flowers and herbs. This volume seeks to rediscover old-fashioned gardening techniques and obscure produce in an exploration of authentic vegetable gardens growing alongside chateaux or abbeys, small family plots, romantic gardens tended by parish priests, gourmet gardens planned by master chefs and ornamental gardens. The book is divided into four main sections, covering stately homes, country houses, dreams and utopias and garden produce, illuminating the history of the French countryside. Photographs reflect the colour and diversity of vegetable gardens from Paris to the Alps.
