Discover how to partner ornamental plants with edible ones for a garden that offers both storybook appeal and a plethora of culinary delights. Stylish and celebratory, The Elegant and Edible Garden takes food growing to a higher plane.

Host of The Potager Blog (@potagerblog), author and garden stylist Linda Vater, shares her vision for creating a garden space where food and flowers grow side by side. Known as a potager, these gardens are formal in their framework yet flexible and personal in their edible yields. A potager garden is both lovely to look at and productive. Doubling as an outdoor living area, it is also the perfect place to entertain family and friends. Inside you'll learn:

- How to grow flowers, fruits, veggies, and herbs together en masse - The function of symmetry in a potager garden - Ways to create visual harmony and match the style of the garden to its surroundings - Tips for blending your family's needs and lifestyle into the garden - Advice on how to utilize focal points and garden ornaments in your garden's layout - The importance of rhythm, repetition, and harmony in potager design - How to position garden structures with practicality and purpose in mind - Where to put your potager for not just convenience but also to create a destination - Best practices for growing your beautiful new garden organically

Create a garden that rejoices in seasonality while still allowing your style and personality to shine. The Elegant and Edible Garden is a vision of the very best things a garden can offer: food, beauty, connection, and a place to breathe.

In this book, Linda again demonstrates that our garden dreams are within reach. We can have a garden or landscape uniquely our own, growing joy as rich and flavorful as the plants we coax from the soil. --- Corrina Murray, Southern Living(R) Plant Collection
