gardening tips
Thinking of creating a cottage-style garden full of vibrant colors, eclectic varieties of flowers, and plants with an “anything goes” vibe?
Create your own perfectly charming cottage garden feel. It's a great way to bring a charming, old-fashioned feel to your outdoor space.
This gardening style knows no rules and is where imperfection has its own special beauty.
A cottage garden is a type of informal garden
The beds don’t have to be perfectly maintained. You don’t have to have well-defined spaces. A cottage garden is full of color and whimsy, where anything goes!
You will most likely find flowering plants such as roses, daisies, foxgloves, sweet peas, lavender, and herbs in cottage garden style growing spaces.
Focal points such as stone walls, bird baths, garden paths, and white picket fences are also seen throughout this informal outdoor cottage-style space.
A cottage garden has a natural, romantic, and charming vibe but still provides a rich habitat for wildlife such as bees, butterflies, and birds.
A cottage garden can be less expensive than a more formal one. By starting your garden cut flowers with seeds, you can start your garden with little expense.
As your perennials get bigger and more established, you’ll be able to divide them into clumps and plant them in other areas of your garden.
