Cottage Gardens

More about the book

The essence of the cottage garden is informality: this old-fashioned warmth accounts for its increasing popularity. Recreate the authenticity of fencing, fountains, and paving, and see what plants traditionally bloomed in these gardens...and which ones have become modern alternatives. The integration of fruit, as well as vegetables and herbs, always have set cottage gardens apart from others: find out how to plant and care for the trees, as well as how to pick and store their bounty.
