The Kitchen Garden
From potagers and walled gardens to community gardens and urban rooftop farms , The Kitchen Garden showcases 50 productive gardens from more than 15 countries. Each is presented through an array of images and an informative description offering an insight into the edibles grown and the rich story of the garden. Organized geographically, the book spans several continents revealing the roles that climate and culture play in regions as diverse as Australasia, Africa, South America, and Europe.
Authored by Dr. Toby Musgrave, a garden historian and a grower at the iconic Naerum allotments in Copenhagen, the insightful texts are packed with information about each garden with captions highlighting garden and growing details. The Kitchen Garden features iconic locations such as Chateau de Villandry (France) and Bunny Mellon s Oak Spring garden (US) as well as community spaces including the Edible Schoolyard by Alice Waters (US) and the Edible Garden City s urban farm atop the roof of Funan mall (Singapore).
The varied range of gardens provides gardeners of all abilities with ideas for what to grow in gardens of all shapes and sizes from small allotments to historic estates and stunning gardens that showcase the work of such renowned contemporary garden designers as Patrice Taravella (Babylonstoren, South Africa), Arne Maynard (Gordon Castle, Scotland), and Charles Stick (Sleepy Cat Farm, USA).
