I found the gardens in this book to be visually inspiring. There are many beautiful color sketches & photos of garden projects (some of which are potager gardening, climbing fruit and vegetables, container gardening), plus brief DIY instructions to turn the ideas into tangible efforts. I just wish I had more land to incorporate more of the ideas that are - particularly the arched arbors with attached fruit trees. A plus is at the back of the book there is contact information for companies that provide seeds, arbors, etc., so you can look beyond your local nursery for materials.

I do wish this book was longer(only 70 pages).

I purchased another book on kitchen garden design and this title popped up as recommended. I am glad I took a look. I love the vertical inspirations such as the pear tunnel, apple arch and the currants growing along the wall. I also found that growing strawberries along the outside edge of your raised bed was an "A-ha" idea.
