But those pleasures can be multiplied a hundredfold by creating a garden that is not only productive but also a beautiful well-integrated part of the home landscape. Once upon a time the fashionable winter garden was a boring line of evergreen spheres. We were afraid of brown and tan and golden flax. We were afraid to see a plant at rest or at the end of its lifecycle. We are trying to eat more plants and less, well, non-plants. A whole food plant based diet just goes with a whole food plant based garden.

The pictures are plentiful and the prose is well written. Highly recommended. Oct 26, Mindy Burroughs rated it it was amazing. Expanding the definition of a garden, just by reading it I can tell it has already changed the way I will see my garden in the future. Very inspiring. Dec 29, Charlie rated it it was amazing Shelves: looking-for-acquire. Very good book for garden inspiration.
This is one for my permanent personal library. Apr 06, Julie Fischer rated it it was amazing Shelves: gardening. This book was written differently than most garden "how to" books. Jennifer Bartley's writing style flows easily and I found myself drawn into her garden. I value her knowledge on plant material and to how she incorporates the plants into a garden which is an extention of herself.
I too, believe this This book was written differently than most garden "how to" books. I too, believe this Jan 27, Kimberly Lynne rated it liked it. I got the feeling there was "one way to do it right" and any plot varying by much would be deemed "inauthentic. LOL I hope! The many close-up photographs weren't very helpful from a design standpoint, and the actual plans and drawings did not seem as if 2. Bartley gave great data on the crops she likes to grow, but didn't branch out much farther.
I'd rather have a little information on okra than details on a plethora of basils. Most helpful for this journeyman veggie grower was the little chart on crop rotation. Feb 14, robyn rated it liked it Shelves: gardens.
I gave this book two stars because it isn't precisely a how-to book, though it does give some solid advice and suggestions. Eh, thinking about it, I gave it three stars after all. It's a lovely book, just not what I was looking for.

So I'd say that this is not a practical book for someone new to gardening, although the pictures will be inspiring. And perhaps once they've been gardening for a little while, they'll find themselves coming back to American Potager and thinking oh yes, I can do that That's what I'm hoping for myself, at any rate.
Dec 04, January rated it liked it Shelves: gardening. If you're an experienced vegetable gardener, most of this book will be tiresome talk of gardening basics like cool-season vs.
I did very much enjoy the education and photos in the first chapter describing historical examples of kitchen gardens and the few examples of modern kitchen gardens later on. The photos were too small and low quality to make too much out, though. Sadly, I think I Disappointing. Sadly, I think I've gotten more kitchen garden inspiration from Google image searches.
I was really hoping this book would dive deeper into the subject, but alas Nov 11, Kylin Larsson rated it liked it. Very pretty book with lots of history on the origin of the kitchen garden. Not very useful for the beginner on how to take a big plot of land and um, turn it into a kitchen garden. Oh well. Apr 22, Joanna rated it liked it. The pictures are fine but not good enough for a coffee table book for dreamers either. It does have some decent information on a few specific gardens.
Nov 14, LemontreeLime rated it really liked it Shelves: art-art-art-art-art , nonfiction-old-and-new. Gorgeous gorgeous book! I dream of gardens like these. Apr 12, Whitney Stanfield rated it really liked it. Nov 13, Fiona Humphries rated it really liked it. I love the detail in the designs - well worth buying for them alone. Some of the planting information can be found elsewhere but the design and layout parts I have not found elsewhere.
Mar 16, Erica rated it really liked it Shelves: gardening. This book deserves 4. Very useful, with detailed and lovely maps and pictures. I also appreciated the basic history of potagers included in the first chapters. She even includes a sub-section on my most favorite potager in all the world: the Potager du Roi at Versailles. I'm sure I'll return to this book again and again--a lovely escape in a long winter, with good plans and lists of plants.
Just two fairly small critiques: first, a couple of the garden designs at the back of the book a This book deserves 4. Just two fairly small critiques: first, a couple of the garden designs at the back of the book are very, very large: professional scale, nowhere near "kitchen garden" scale. I would have liked to see more variety in size and regional kitchen gardens.
Second, there's just far too much passive voice and annoying passive sentences in this book.
