The Kitchen Garden

by Richard Bird

Published 26 January 2000
There is nothing like the taste of fresh fruit and vegetables, especially those, just picked, from your own kitchen garden. In this superbly illustrated book, Richard Bird shows how growing your own produce is not only good for the table, but can also be wonderfully decorative. Take inspiration from The Kitchen Garden: create a fragrant herb border; cultivate chillies in pots; fill hanging baskets with trailing tomatoes and edible flowers; or be adventurous and train beans or fruit trees to grow over arches and arbours. Best of all, the projects are simple enough to be completed in a weekend.
