Cottage Gardens

They may look abundantly wild and romantic, but it takes the right combination of colors, texture, placement, and accessories to create that 'just happened' look. Sunset's new Cottage Gardens visits the English origins of this increasingly popular style, and offers practical advice for getting started, specifics on regional variations, design tips, basic plant profiles, plus recommendations on structural details. All of which add up to the wonderfully casual style that characterizes Cottage Gardens.
