The Elegant and Edible Garden: Designing a Potager Livestream Presentation

Explore the French tradition of the potager—artful kitchen gardens where colorful flowers, fruits, vegetables, and fragrant herbs grow side by side. Drawing from her award-winning book, The Elegant and Edible Garden, author Linda Vater guides you through the process of designing a kitchen garden that is as beautiful as it is productive.

At the heart of her approach is the principle that successful kitchen gardens begin not with plants, but with an honest assessment of time, lifestyle, space, and expectations. Let Linda show you how to identify your priorities and translate them into confident design decisions. Be inspired by a fabulous range of kitchen garden design options – from formal geometric layouts and raised beds to relaxed edible borders and patio containers. Learn to design a potager that is uniquely your own and a delight to both the eye and the palate.

Join the live-stream event for the chance to ask questions during the presentation. You will also receive a recording of the session to re-watch at home.
