    Description of Kitchen Gardens of France

    In this wonderful celebration of the French kitchen garden, old-fashioned techniques and obscure produce can be rediscovered. An illuminating text by Louisa Jones and brilliant colour photographs by Vincent Motte uncover authentic vegetable patches alongside chateaux or abbeys, small family plots, romantic gardens tended by parish priests, gourmet gardens planted by master chefs and lovely ornamental idylls. Four main sections, covering stately homes, grassroots gardening, dreams and utopias, and vegetable produce, together conjure up the rich history and extraordinary variety in the French countryside, from Paris to the Alps.
