The kitchen garden is enjoying a huge renaissance. Thousands of families have been inspired to dig up their backyards and plant vegetable gardens. The Complete Kitchen Garden is a wide-ranging collection of garden designs and recipes for the home gardener and cook. Based on the seasonal cycles of the garden, each chapter provides a new way to look at the garden with themes and designs for “the salad lover’s garden,” “the heirloom maze garden,” “the children’s garden,” and “the organic rotation garden.” Recipes play an integral role and encompass a full range of soups, salads, maincourse savory dishes, and desserts, as well as condiments and garnish to dress up the plate.

When you cultivate a kitchen garden, you actively engage with your source of food, and integrate with your natural surroundings in a way that far surpasses the experience of purchasing food at the market. Growing your own food is truly the next logical step beyond “local.”
