Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
The eclectic sprawl of perennials, roses, shrubs, and vines that is the essence of the English cottage garden is a look much sought after by many American gardeners. Hensel, a photographer and contributor to Horticulture magazine, presents ten of these romantic and intimate gardens, eight found in Britain and two in the United States. The text combines personal stories of reshaping landscapes with more specific information on individual plants and plant combinations. Each chapter is complemented by lush color photographs and a bird's-eye sketch of the property. Source lists for roses, perennials, and bulbs are followed by cultural information on 75 cottage perennials, including the essential trio of hardy geraniums, lady's mantle, and catmint. That it is not necessary to "know a potato from a peony" to establish a cottage garden can be debated. But many garden enthusiasts will be inspired by the seemingly unplanned profusion of lupines, lavender, phlox, and hollyhocks found in these pages. Recommended for larger gardening collections.
