Cottage Garden

Garden with a variety of colorful flowers plus a bird bath and a trellis.

The cottage garden is a distinct style that uses informal design, traditional materials, dense plantings and a mixture of ornamental and edible plants. English in origin, it depends on grace and charm rather than grandeur and formal structure.
