Cottage Garden Plants
Our cottage garden list is built to highlight native species that are generally shorter and tend to behave well in more formal plantings. This list is also great for sunnier (to part-shade) sites with a wild look. How “tidy” your garden appears all depends on how much work you want to put into maintenance. The ecological benefit is still there regardless of your aesthetic preference 🌿
Woodland Garden Plants
