One of the defining features of a cottage garden is the abundant mix of perennials and annuals. Combine favorites like roses, peonies, lavender, and delphiniums with vibrant annuals such as cosmos, zinnias, and marigolds.
This dynamic blend of flowers will create a tapestry of colors and textures, giving your garden an inviting and romantic feel.
Consider adding a weathered wooden arbor, an archway adorned with climbing roses, or a trellis covered in sweet-smelling jasmine to provide support and a whimsy to your garden flowers
Create meandering pathways using materials like stone, gravel, or reclaimed bricks Plant low-growing flowers along the edges, allowing them to spill over and soften the path's edges, beckoning visitors to wander deeper into the garden.
Add a quaint seating area where you can sip your morning coffee or enjoy an afternoon tea.
