A potager is a French term for a kitchen garden, typically a small, decorative vegetable garden that is located close to the kitchen and designed to supply fresh produce for cooking. In addition to vegetables, a potager may also include herbs, fruits, and flowers, arranged in a visually appealing and organized manner. The design of a potager often includes geometric shapes, raised beds, and interplanting of complementary crops to maximize space and yield. Potagers have a long history in French culture and are valued not only for their practical function but also for their aesthetic beauty.
