This sumptuous book starts with a history of the cottage garden. A
chapter on planning and design introduces the main styles and the
familiar features of the cottage garden are then covered in turn -
from hedges and fences, to paths, arches, furniture and the
creative reuse of materials. The following two chapters focus on
growing flowers and shrubs and fruit and vegetables. Step-by-step
sequences include how to protect young plants, plan a four-year
crop rotation, and prune fruit trees. A chapter on livestock and
wildlife shows how to care for chickens and other animals, and how
to attract wildlife from birds and bees to hedgehogs and bats. A
comprehensive directory then breaks down the wide variety of plants
that give the cottage garden its appeal.
