Both beautiful and productive, potagers are formal geometric gardens with herbs and vegetables planted amongst the flowers. Marylyn Abbot gives inventive ideas for creating potagers in small and large spaces, from windowsills and balconies to small gardens and country estates, and she traces the history of potagers around the world. Down-to-earth advice on design and usage and tips on making the most of patios and pots are enhanced by inspiring photographs and a handy glossary."No one could have been better qualified to write Gardens of Plenty than Marylyn Abbott." -English Garden
