CUSTOMER REVIEWS (Average Customer Rating: 5.0 based on 1 review)

Insipiring and Practical  
Highly recommended for anyone wanting to start a kitchen garden that is to be a beautiful & enjoyed part of the garden. This book starts with a brief summary of the history of kitchen gardens, and the basics of gardening, but does not waste it's time in a lengthy discussion in either of those topics. Rather, it quickly moves on to talk about fundamental design principles in developing an beautiful & functional vege patch, with detailed inclusions on plant suggestions for various design needs. It has lots of great ideas, including companion flower planting and kitchen plants suitable for a night garden. The example gardens are not enormous and historical gardens that cannot be repeated in the suburban garden, but instead are lovely, inspiring gardens that have been created in someone else's backyard. An inspiring and practical book.
