Grow a Cocktail Garden

Enjoy tasty fresh-from-the-garden beverages this summer -- from lemonades to margaritas -- with this fun garden.

Cocktail Garden

The BHG Garden Editors

 

Garden at a Glance

You don't need a lot of space to make this cocktail garden; ours was a simple 4- X 4-foot square raised bed in full sun. There's a lot of clay in the Better Homes and Gardens Test Garden, so to keep our cocktail garden healthy and productive, we added a lot of compost to the soil. All of the plants were provided by Bonnie Plants.
