Welcome

If you're interested in plants, or enjoy exchanging gardening ideas and experience with fellow gardeners - why not become a Cottage Gardener?

Creating a Cottage Garden

You don't have to live in a cottage, or even in the country!

Cottage gardens can be created in the small plots of modern houses, or the narrow gardens of older terraces. The informal style lends itself to any situation.

Cottage gardens reflect your own personal mix of plants, whether flowers, fruit or vegetables.   The emphasis is on the year-round pleasure of enjoying their form, flowers and scent, not to mention picking your own salads, herbs, fruit and vegetables.

Why bother with the drudge of maintaining lawns and regimented borders - especially with problems of climate change?
