"A potager must make you dream, and this means curves, not those tight squares ..."

Today the potager or kitchen garden is high fashion, but the stylish version has its roots in centuries of down to earth practical gardening. The kitchen plot offer a special opportunity to slow down and participate in the rhythms of natural processes. Growing vegetables more than any other kind of gardening means a daily presence, a constant attention to details, an awareness of seasonal change. And if there is a particular pace, so there is also a special spirit of place. Every potager has its own type of soil, its microclimates, its distinctive setting.
