Genius Tips for Designing a Beautiful Vegetable Garden

Genius Tips for Designing a Beautiful Vegetable Garden

Today I’m joined by Alexandra Campbell of the Middle Sized Garden who gives us tips on how to design a beautiful garden filled with edible and medicinal plants. She includes specific plants and plant combinations, trees and shrubs, useful plants that look great, the cottage garden style, and the three principles for designing a spectacular garden, no matter the size or your budget.

Today you can also find a video on Alexandra’s channel, where she asks me about my new book, A Woman’s Garden, and using and growing edible flowers. You can watch it over here: https://youtu.be/nOr_Sqj7pDc

    Edible flower frittata…what! I must do this. Unity harmony and balance I have never thought about a design plan = thank you~



  31. sysfs on June 4, 2022 at 9:12 pm

    There are so many interesting ideas given by Alexandra, I really enjoyed watching this. 🌻

    One question, what are the flowers shown at 6’38"?



  32. Lynn Gill on June 4, 2022 at 9:15 pm

    so interesting and informative – thank you so much – two of my favourite gardeners together.xxx



  33. Ese on June 4, 2022 at 9:18 pm

    I’ve never seen a pear hedge before @9:09 it’d be great to know how to achieve that. I’ve just had a quick google and I can only see advice on wild pear trees.

    This is perfect for a FOOD FOREST!!!



  39. Soledad Mullin on June 4, 2022 at 9:26 pm

    Oh boy, what a fantastic discovery this was for me! I am now follwing Alexandra Campbell and bought her guide on privacy, the book i was looking for as a new house will be built next door. Your questions are so interesting, Tanya, and allowed her to answer in a riveting way. What a wonderful moment this video was! To celebrate, I treated myself to your book too. I am not a maker of beautiful things, but I feel I could under your gentle guidance!



  40. Rico S on June 4, 2022 at 9:26 pm

    That was really interesting. I’m staring at my barren grass lawn feeling exceptionally inadequate! I love the idea of replacing fences with hedges, unfortunately I’ve got a very thin fence, with little room for planting something that would grow to a similar height (say 80cm) whilst taking up a narrow footprint. I’ll keep searching.



  41. Gin - Almost Homestead on June 4, 2022 at 9:27 pm

    Two of my favorite garden channels! There is so much good information here. I’ve been working on several garden areas and can definitely refer back to this video! Thank Tanya, I did not know Alexandra was an author. Fun, more books to look up πŸ™‚



  42. rose hip on June 4, 2022 at 9:27 pm

    Thanks. I’ve designed my 3rd half plot as an edible forest-style garden beginning of March 2020. It’s coming along nicely



  43. Julie Mcgugan on June 4, 2022 at 9:28 pm

    Here in Cyprus, my Nasturtiums are ready! Bring on the frattata!



  44. Kathryn Kramer on June 4, 2022 at 9:29 pm

    The topic of a beautiful edible garden is one I have been looking into for years. It is so wonderful to be finding more and more information on this topic over the last couple years! Thank you so much, Tanya and Alexandra for this interesting and informative video! (It is so good, I took notes!!!)



  45. Ann Beveridge on June 4, 2022 at 9:29 pm

    Hello Tanya. Just a quick note to let you know I have received your book. It’s wonderful. So many things to try. From Ontario, Canada.



  46. David's Allotment on June 4, 2022 at 9:30 pm

    Great video and gardening design tips Tanya.



  47. Dan Lit on June 4, 2022 at 9:32 pm

    Let nature take it back Tan, let the bugs and the bees take their place. Keep feeding it but let it rest for 5 years and grow its own humus. Then after the five years are up make it a dedicate space. The plants are not important, the biodiversity of the area is. Learn your birds, insects, sun positioning, wind strength and treat accordingly. You know what i mean. x.
