cottage gardens
Quaint planted yards
Cottage gardens are informal, densely planted gardens mixing flowers, herbs, and vegetables in an apparently unplanned style.
The aesthetic evokes rural English cottages, emphasizing abundance over manicured order: Her cottage garden overflowed with roses, lavender, and climbing beans.
The style favors old-fashioned plants, winding paths, and picket fences.
