Cottage Gardens: Creating Year-Round Beauty with Flowers, Herbs, Fruits, Edibles & More

I could look through this book for hours. It’s full of those lush, slightly wild English-style gardens that feel collected rather than overly manicured, and it’s just as pretty sitting on a coffee table as it is inspiring to read.

DESCRIPTION

For anyone who loves overflowing flower beds, climbing roses, herbs tucked between blooms, and gardens that feel beautifully relaxed rather than overly perfect.

Cottage Gardens explores the art of creating richly layered, informal gardens filled with flowers, herbs, fruits, vegetables, pathways, water features, and thoughtful planting combinations. Author Kathryn Bradley-Hole brings decades of gardening expertise to a style rooted in both beauty and practicality, including organic practices such as composting, rain harvesting, succession planting, and creating habitats that support pollinators and wildlife.

Filled with gorgeous garden photography by Marianne Majerus, this hardcover is equal parts inspiration, practical guide, and beautiful coffee table book.
