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.

I want to create a cottage garden,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Cottage Gardens (Paperback)
I am in the process of creating a cottage garden by tearing out my front lawn and replanting with mainly perrenials. The book is a pretty typical Sunset product but is excessively wordy. I would have preferred many more large pictures with text identifying the plants in the garden and far less text about history and other topics. In addition the information about annuals and perenials is well covered in other texts especially Sunset's Western Garden Book. Overall the book could have covered planning, color composition, seasons of bloom and plant relationships much more completely and left out a lot of words.
