I hope to develop a potager on my small front garden with the aim of creating something which is both decorative and also productive. I have joy larcom's creative gardening book which I would recommend (along with any of her books) but am looking for a little extra inspiration and wondered if anyone had a good book on the subject which they would recommend.

Ornamental Kitchen Garden by Geoff Hamilton is one of my favourites.

I'm guessing this is out of print, Just looked on amazon and they do not sell it, cheapest second hand £25 and someone selling for £87

Gardens of Plenty - The Art of The Potager Garden by Marylyn Abbot. Think we got ours from a book club on offer. It covers the history of potagers from medieval times and has a plan your own. Coffee table stylee but very enjoyable.

Look in charity shops as it's not a trendy book like Dan Brown or Hairy Pufter.
I was sent my copy as a pressie from a lady admirer
