I will be speaking on The Seasonal Useful and Edible Garden at the 2009 annual Garden Writers Association meeting. I will be showing photographs and talking about inspirational edible gardens from around the world. This presentation borrows some design ideas from the French on creating the potager- a kitchen garden with vegetables, fruits, flowers and herbs. We will look at creating a useful garden in all seasons and touch on ways to use shrubs, perennials and annuals to create the space of the garden, supply something for the table or attract beneficial insects throughout the year.
