22 Pictures of English Vegetable Garden

Touring other gardens inspires me doing new things in our own garden. As the spring is just around the corner, I’ve decided to share with you some pictures taken in UK last spring.
Those were taken at Hampton Court.
Pay attention to space planning, combination of fruit trees and vegetable raised beds, creative and inexpensive labeling and pea support.
There is one amazing thing, that I’d like you to have closer look. This is a clipped low hedge. It's made of lavender! Absolutely beautiful idea on how to combine beauty and utility. Lavender is evergreen and if clipped properly looks beautiful all year round.
This 22 vegetable garden pictures is the careful hand selection of big batch of photographs I have taken during that tour.
What I also like is that they are taken before vegetables are grown - it gives the chance to feel the bone structure of this garden.
So, pay attention to how structurally planning is done. Look at the beauty of details and how beautifully the thick wood of raised beds is aging.
If you are planning spruce up your garden this spring I believe this vegetable garden pictures will help you to get some new ideas.

Look at these lavender hedges - borders look neat and there is enough space to grow herbs and vegetables. As I remember all vegetables in this garden are grown organic.

Pots with tulips add rythm to the landscape.

Mulched space around the beds. In our gardens plan more narrow paths unless you expect crowds of visitors :) 

See the beauty of old wood?

Apple tree trained.

Cute ideas for supporting plants - use twiggs from your own garden.

Pea trellises made of recycled twiggs which you can also find in your garden..

This small supporting constructions are made for Asperula odorata - perennial which dried foliage is fragrant and has been used to flavor wines.

Different example on how to label your plants.

Another home-made label idea.

Symmetry in planting adds visual beauty.

Guess what is grown here in these baskets? Potatoes.

And the last idea is small bags which suite as herb pots.

I hope this selection of vegetable garden pictures give you some inspiration.
