Potager Inspiration for Your Garden

Another summer has come and gone, and except for some kale, swiss chard, beets, and pak choi, most of the potager is unproductive. I've spread out what remained in my compost tumbler to enrich the soil for next year, and will blanket each bed with shredded leaves for the winter.

Many friends and neighbors have expressed interest in building a potager in the spring, so I thought I'd give you all some pictures of beautiful vegetable gardens that might inspire you to start growing your own vegetables, or convince you to go bigger!



I love the simplicity of this garden - just wooden beds with a
simple fence enclosure. I wouldn't want to have to mow that
grass though, and would probably choose crushed stone or patio paver paths.

Are you using brick pavers elsewhere on your property? You can easily
tie the vegetable garden to the look of the rest of the landscaping by
matching the pavers and fencework.

Combining both raised beds and ground-level beds creates interest and beauty.
Using crushed stone for a portion of the paths saves money.

Love the wood planks surrounding these raised beds. No muddy shoes in this
garden!

And of course, I love the design of this potager, because it's mine!
