Jardins potagers
Auteur(s) : Toby Musgrave
This book pays tribute to the rich history of kitchen gardens through more than 50 of the world’s finest examples. Organised by geographical region, it reveals how climate, culture and history shape productive gardens across the globe.
European walled gardens brimming with flowers and edible plants, a pioneering urban farm on the rooftops of Singapore and a lush coastal garden in Patagonia sit alongside iconic sites such as the Château de Villandry and Bunny Mellon’s Oak Spring Garden, community spaces, such as Alice Waters’ Edible Schoolyard in California, as well as contemporary gardens by Patrice Taravella (South Africa), Arne Maynard (Gordon Castle, Scotland), Charles Stick (United States) and other renowned designers.
The book includes detailed captions for each of the gardens featured, as well as an illustrated introduction tracing the history of kitchen gardens and six thematic essays on key topics, including growing under cover, organic techniques and fruit cultivation.
