Garden Guru Landscaping
with Emerald Seedlings
This family team designed an
accessible kitchen vegetable garden.
Most of us have our vegetable gardens
far from the house; bringing it closer
to the kitchen encourages the garden
to be used more. They added a variety
of herbs, vegetables and flowers and
created a bright and inviting garden.

Plants used
1. Marigolds
These nematode deterrents come in a
variety of bright oranges, yellows and
reds and add colour to the veggie patch.
2. Fennel
I love growing fennel in the garden,
not only for the bright show of yellow
flowers, but also for the fabulous
flavour of roast fennel bulbs or raw
fennel in a salad.
3. Yarrow
This hardy and medicinal herb also
adds great colour to the garden.
