The instantly recognizable English cottage garden encapsulates that delightful mix of scented climbers, drifts of flowers inter-mingled with herbs and vegetables, fruit trees and traditional features. Much loved and copied throughout the world, it is uniquely individual.

With no strict rules to adhere to, it is a garden style that is both informal and functional, celebrating fragrance, flowers and seasonal interest at its heart.

The old cottage style of gardening, blending planting to create a flowery yet productive plot within a small space, is still highly relevant and easily transferable to today's modern garden, whether it be a city courtyard or a large garden in the country.

Appropriate for gardeners of every level of ability, The English Cottage Garden covers all aspects of designing a cottage-style garden; from choosing the right trees, climbers, shrubs and perennials to creating an authentic cottage feel to the planting.

It also covers the use of color within the garden; how features can establish a framework and create focal points; and why companion planting is essential to this style.

Illustrated throughout with a wealth of photographs showing gardens, planting combinations, colorful border schemes and individual flowers, this book is an essential read for anyone interested in the quintessential cottage garden.
