kitchen-garden
Backyard produce patch
A kitchen-garden is a plot where vegetables, herbs, and fruits are grown for household use rather than sale.
The term emphasizes practicality over ornament—a kitchen-garden supplies the kitchen: She picked tomatoes and basil from the kitchen-garden for dinner.
The hyphenated form is traditional; kitchen garden appears increasingly.
