Drawing from her award-winning book\, The Elegant and Edible Garden\, author Linda Vater guides you through the process of designing a kitchen garden that is as beautiful as it is productive. \nAt the heart of her approach is the principle that successful kitchen gardens begin not with plants\, but with an honest assessment of time\, lifestyle\, space\, and expectations. Let Linda show you how to identify your priorities and translate them into confident design decisions. Be inspired by a fabulous range of kitchen garden design options – from formal geometric layouts and raised beds to relaxed edible borders and patio containers. Learn to design a potager that is uniquely your own and a delight to both the eye and the palate. \nJoin the live-stream event for the chance to ask questions during the presentation. You will also receive a recording of the session to re-watch at home. \nHollister House Garden is grateful to Linda Vater for generously donating her time for this special event. Your registration fee supports the education programs at our non-profit organization.\nLinda Vater is a garden designer\, stylist\, and author known for her thoughtful approach to garden design and garden-inspired living. Her own gardens have been featured in numerous national and regional publications. She is the author of the award-winning The Elegant and Edible Garden: Design a Dream Kitchen Garden to Fit Your Personality\, Desires\, and Lifestyle\, and The Garden Journal. Her most recent book\, A Year of Garden-Inspired Living: Season by Season\, offers readers creative ideas for connecting with their gardens and with each other.
