Our Story
Hi, I’m Laura and I am passionate about the potager style kitchen garden. The potager is an extension of your home, beckoning you outside for fresh air and fresh, seasonal food to take into the kitchen and enjoy. This style of garden is not the occasional eyesore tucked away out of sight. The potager is a beautifully designed garden that marries vegetables, fruit, flowers, and herbs.
Growing up, we always had vegetables gardens. My dad grew up on a farm and although he moved to the ‘burbs he still enjoyed working in his garden. These gardens were often tucked out of site because they didn’t go with my mom’s beautiful flower gardens. This familial garden history along with my own love of history and my Francophilia led me to the French Potager.
The French Potager originates in the ornate monastic medieval gardens (ahem history lover here) but evolved into the French kitchen garden that could be ornate enough for a king or simple enough for every citizen. The potager is the best version of the kitchen garden.
