“We may think we are nurturing our garden, but of course it’s our garden that is really nurturing us.” – Jenny Uglow
It has been a dream of mine to have my own potager, kitchen garden. This is the first step in making that dream a reality.
Ever since I can remember I’ve had a very vivid image of myself living an abundant and peaceful life in a cottage. In this dream I am usually alone, working in a beautiful garden, or making a hearty home-cooked meal. The sun is shining with a fresh cool breeze coming through an open window. The cottage kitchen has huge windows that look out over a beautiful potager, or kitchen garden, and something is always cooking on the magnificently magical hearth. It is a feeling so familiar it must be from a past life. I’m not quite there yet, but it doesn’t just happen you have to put in the work, so this is the start.
