Kitchens with built-in herb gardens provide fresh-from-the-garden herbs for home-cooked meals.

Leading the trend is Poggenpohl who have a variety of Kitchen Garden options including the +Edition kitchen in walnut or ash wood veneer with lacquer cabinetry.

Earlier this month at the Palazzo Clerici in Milan, Caesarstone presented its new Islands kitchen concept by Raw Edges. The stone countertop features an array of built-in functionalities including slots for plant pots and even a lemon tree.

Italian kitchen brand Valcucine‘s Logica kitchen range is shown here with a backsplash planter wall full of cascading plants.

Made from recycled and regenerated wood from certified resources as well as non-toxic laminates, aluminum, glass and technical veneers, the Bazzeo BZPS kitchen by Bazzeo Kitchen & Bath features a sunken herb garden in its island.
