Edible Potager
01
Best for
The modern potager blurs edible and ornamental planting, but function still matters.
02
Designer move
Mix perennial herbs, espaliered fruit, pollinator flowers, seasonal vegetables, and durable paths with a clear harvesting workflow.
03
Trend note
The modern potager blurs edible and ornamental planting, but function still matters. Put daily herbs close to the house, keep beds reachable from both sides, plan crop rotation and irrigation, and include a work surface, compost route, and tool storage before styling the space.
04
Avoid
Avoid beautiful beds that are too wide to maintain or placing high-demand crops where light, water, and access are poor.
