Cottage Gardens Pantry The foliage dies back beforeCelebrated for their relaxed charm, cottage gardens embrace an organic, free flowing style rich in texture and colour, where self sown plants and naturalised bulbs are encouraged to emerge and spread. With beautiful photography, this book covers plant combinations, paths and walls, water features and extending the season, as well as promoting traditional, organic practices such as composting, rain harvesting, and succession planting.
