'''Kitchen garden''' is a type of [[garden]] where [[herbs]], [[vegetables]], and [[fruits]] are grown for household use. It is a feature of many traditional [[residential garden]]s.

==History==
The concept of kitchen garden has its roots in the [[self-sufficiency]] of rural life where every home would have a plot of land for growing vegetables and fruits. This tradition continues in many cultures to this day.

==Types of Kitchen Gardens==
There are several types of kitchen gardens, including [[potager]], a French style of kitchen garden, and the [[Victorian kitchen garden]] that was popular in England during the Victorian era.

===Potager===
A potager is a French term for an ornamental vegetable or kitchen garden. The historical design precedent is from the [[Gardens of the French Renaissance]] and [[Baroque Garden à la française]] eras. Often flowers ([[edible]] and non-edible) and herbs are planted with the vegetables to enhance the garden's beauty. The goal is to make the function of providing food aesthetically pleasing.

===Victorian Kitchen Garden===
In the 19th century, the Victorian kitchen garden was the source of herbs, vegetables and fruits for the household. This was made possible by the development of new glass-making technologies that allowed the construction of large [[greenhouse]]s and the trend towards a more scientific approach to gardening.

==Benefits==
Kitchen gardens have many benefits. They provide fresh produce that is free from [[pesticides]] and other chemicals, they can save money on grocery bills, and they can be a source of physical exercise and mental relaxation.
