Trending on Gardenista: Kitchen Gardens Near and Far

While we’ve been celebrating the summer kitchen, the Gardenista team has, too–all over the world, and without ever having to come indoors.

• “My first thought was that prim hydrangeas might benefit from a walk on the wild side,” says Justine of her assignment to invent The Bouquet of the Week. “Figuring I could add a little Danny Zuko to their Sandy (to use a Grease reference), I set out in search of some unruly locals.”
• “For me,” Michelle says, “the perfect summer kitchen is one I barely see.” She has rounded up five of her favorite garden-to-table recipes for peak-season salads and sandwiches, no cooking allowed.
• Celia Hart is an illustrator and printmaker in Suffolk, England, whose blog keeps readers up to date on her plantings on the grounds of an old estate, her work (oh, and her chickens, too). Take a Garden Tour with Kendra, stately henhouse included.
