From window sills and balconies to small town gardens and country estates, vegetable gardens that are both beautiful and productive have their roots in ancient tradition but are as relevant and fresh today as Marylyn Abbott traces the history of the potager around the world and discusses its interpretation by contemporary designers. As well as inspirational photography, there is practical advice on planning, designing and using a potager that is both productive and beautiful, as well as clever advice on making the most of smaller spaces such as patios and containers. A glossary of details gives information on the many decorative and useful aspects that can be incorporated into a potager. This title explores the resurgence of interest in ancient ways of producing natural foods and remedies from herbs, vegetables, fruit and flowers, and reflecting contemporary interest in all things natural, pure and organic. they were a thousand years ago.

Review:
....set firmly in the coffee-table class, but on reading it you discover there's some real grit beneath the gloss. -- The Kitchen Garden, November 2001, Just Out by Andrew Blackford
From the Publisher:
This fascinating book by Marylyn Abbott traces the history of the potager, from its romantic roots in medieval Europe to its cutting edge interpretations all over the world today. Infinitely flexible this style of garden has absorbed the past 1,000 years of human history and spread to every corner of the globe. It moderates temperature, mazimises space and provides an oasis of sheltered calm. It also affords considerable room for individual expression. Marylyn also celebrates the individuality and quirkiness of potagers from America, Australia, Britian and continental Europe. For the reader inspired by the true spirit of the potager there are ideas to recreate, design pointers and planting tips throughout, that create a mixture of inspirational, yet practical advice to aid the design of a productive and beautiful garden.
