Any backyard can be transformed into a
charming and romantic cottage garden, with none of the hard work from days gone
by.
Modern cottage gardens
concentrate on the ornamental rather than the functional side, but if they are
well designed, they will retain the special rural charm from years gone
by.
There will be climbers on house
walls, and along the fence; hollyhocks might grow up to the cottage eaves;
there should be big, generous borders where flowers of all shapes and sizes
grow.
The most decorative
vegetables and salad crops might be grown among the flowers while less pretty
plants like cabbage or kale could be grown apart, probably behind a screen of
some kind.
All these features are perfectly possible, whether your house is
rural or urban, and will all help to develop the authentic style. |
Before your start... SAFETY FIRST
Wear work gloves to avoid
splinters.
