I enjoy different thoughts and opinions on just what constitutes a cottage garden. Some of us feel it's old fashion flowers and the romance of pastels, others might feel it's a philosophy of whats easy for where you live but I think we all agree that it's a informal arrangement of planting beds. We'll leave the high maintenance formal beds for estates with a large paid staff to keep up with it.


Lovely garden pgt. I did a purple garden one year but I have a short attention span and it went in a different direction pretty fast. Seeing your picture reminds me why I liked it.


If tropicals disqualify a garden as being cottage than mine have lost the right to have the name. This is at the Historic Society and shows both canna and Brugmansia. With a name like Angel Trumpets surely it belongs in a cottage garden.
