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.

Look for me at plantersplace.com. I will be writing a regular blog on kitchen gardens. We'll cover everything from design, history, recommended varieties, attracting beneficials and what to have for dinner. My design practice stems from the way I seek to live... connected to the earth and seasons by growing some of my own herbs, vegetables and flowers.
Creating an edible garden that is beautiful as well as functional is a design issue. It requires solving problems that may be unique to every site. There are shared problems as well. Where should you plant your kitchen garden? How do you create enclosure? What about winter- what will the garden look like then? Where do I hide the compost and work area? How do I attract birds and butterflies to the garden? What if I have no time? What if I have no space?
Let me know the questions you have and I will address them here or there. I would love to see photos of your successes too. Happy gardening.
