One secret to a successful
cottage garden is to select plants in varying heights
from tall to medium to short for the front edges.
In cottage garden, edging plants spill over into stone
or brick paths and soften the front of the border.
The tall background plants are
allowed to grow witout supports and even to gracefully
fall over and intertwine.
To augment the cottage garden feeling, add accessories
such as an old-fashioned fence, trellis or arbor. Keep
the garden looking full and luxurious by planting lots
of flowers but keep it weeded too, so the abun - dance
does not spill over into sloppiness.
A cottage garden effect can be achieved with potted
plants if you arrange the pots close together and
intermix a number of different plants.
