Kitchen Garden

1. Don't be afraid to make your guest have a brush with lavender or lamb's ear as they navigate their way to the door. Just don't keep prickly thorns in their path.

I forgot to mention that magical gardens also go hand-in-hand with my definition of cottage.

Is the cottage look more your style? Cottage gardens are perfect in a small space. Cluster 10 to 15 plants around your doorstep for a charming look. Go for plants with fragrance to create an experience every time you come home. Plants that work well in a cottage garden like this include catmint, Russian sage, lavender, rosemary and rose.20 Ways to Get the Cottage Garden Look

Deliberate design elements blend happily with accidental ones in a spontaneous garden. The garden owner gives equal status to both the ordinary and the rare: edibles, for instance, are tucked among precious ornamentals; glossy finishes appear in contrast to rustic materials; lavish plantings occupy humble vessels. A spontanteous garden gives the impression that its owners skipped away from chores or tasks for an impromptu picnic midway through.I love this garden for some of these characteristics. Low-maintenance gravel has so many pluses, including the fact that annuals and perennials are encouraged to self-sow in it. The billowy plantings here are companionable with the bungalow's natural shingle exterior. The look is uncontrived and effortless. This is a place you want to visit (and possibly move into).

Here's a great example of a 2-mile-per-hour garden. Upon approaching the door, someone can appreciate the fine details of this free-form planting. The simple cottage architecture is perfectly paired with a rustic, exuberant array of wildflowers and perennials.

What makes a garden a cottage garden (you know, besides the obvious "hence the name" answer)? There really are no rules when it comes to designing a cottage gardens. They often include herbs, you can work in vegetables, roses, boxwood, gravel paths, arbors, funky gates, picket fences, hollyhocks, benches, bistro sets, sculptures, birdhouses...you name it. Charming little outbuildings like potting sheds and playhouses always have a home in a cottage garden.
