cottage garden plants... You don't need a gingerbread cottage in the country to have a cottage garden. Old-fashioned flowers and a cluttered 'look' usually suits more traditional-style properties, but it's a good style for plant lovers with small gardens just about anywhere, as it allows you to pack lots of colour and interest into a small space.
In a cottage garden, plants are grown very close together, and they are meant to look as if they were put together at random, without any real plan behind them.
