Knot Garden | At Bridge Gardens in Bridgehampton, an elaborate knot garden composed of boxwood and red Berberis overflows with herbs. The selection is organized by use, including medicinal, cooking, dyeing and fragrance.

Veggie Valet | Ideal for both country and city, this veggie valet holds small-scale crops. The easy-access vertical planters—no bending over required—make for convenient last-minute salad gathering.

Kitchen Garden | Greenport resident Diana van Buren designed this charming vegetable plot in her backyard garden, allowing for plenty of space between plants and the proper support to anchor them as they grow taller.

Raised Bed | If building a raised vegetable bed seems daunting, order the Scout Regalia raised garden kit, a set of brackets and stakes that make putting together a few 2x6s of cedar from the lumberyard a breeze.
