Last September my husband and I went to Provence. What couldn't be better than travelling through the countryside, eating French cuisine and sipping wine from local vineyards?

Well the answer was a visit to a Potager Garden , designed, maintained and harvested by a French winery with its own restaurant. Winner of the 2009 Best new French Garden in France and located in Provence this garden is horticulturalist and chef's delight. Two acres devoted to herbs, vegetable crops and lots of espaliered fruit trees all set in a potager style garden. This is the french style for creating a kitchen garden that appeals to the visual as well as culinary senses. Flowers, formal boxwood hedging and ornamentation are all woven into this style.

Vegetable gardens don't have to be relegated to the bottom of the yard or behind a hedge. See how you can create your own edible piece of paradise as Senga shows you how to design a Potager Garden.
