Kitchen gardens, located near the culinary center
of the house, are beautiful as well as functional.
In addition to salad greens and the other vegetables,
they can provide herbs, edible flowers, and even
cutting flowers to decorate the table. With a long
history, epitomizing in the popular reconstructed
gardens at Monticello and Mount Vernon, there is
a renewed interest in kitchen gardens today. In
this practical book by gourmet horticulturalist
Cathy Wilkinson Barash, you'll find all the information
you'll need to grow a beautiful kitchen garden
in your backyard, or even on your terrace.
