Cottage Garden 


Cottage2009a


This garden represents a style of gardening that was popularized in Britain in the 1930s by gardener and author Margery Fish. Her love of flowers and nature led to extensive research in the many plants that were traditionally grown in the small cottage gardens in England. Her gardens were crowded together with myriad plants of all colors, textures, and varieties of bloom. The result is a sort of organized chaos. Our Cottage Garden attempts to incorporate many flowers and shrubs in waves of color –white, blue, purple, pink, red, orange, and yellow.
