A riot of colours and plants intermingling in a seemingly
uncontrolled fashion is the essence of a cottage garden. The front
garden is just as important as the back with a simple path leading
through a mass of flowers to the front door round where rambling
roses and clematis compete for space. Rustic informality is the key
to the hard landscaping with random laid or small scale sett paving
to fit an irregular shape. The odd paving stone is left out to
provide a planting hole for ground cover plants and spreading herbs
to infiltrate. Often enclosed or tiered by walling, create raised
planter walls to provide space for more colourful shrubs and
flowers.
