Cottage Gardening

cottage garden flowersCottage gardening is a type of gardening that is usually random & carefree. Many times, the garden is filled with a combination of herbs and vegetables, as well as all different types of flowers.

Plants are planted very close together to keep weeds down to a minimum. Many plants normally used in the cottage garden reseed themselves & plant the garden for you!

I've found that each cottage garden is as different as the people who create them! Our goal is to teach you how to fill your garden with the things you love without paying a king's ransom.

You can also check out the cottage garden pictures and articles at our blog.

Use These Creative Gardening Ideas not Your Dollars
Dear Pearl,
I loved your article in the Dollar Stretcher about the frugal cottage garden. I live on a rural property that we have hopes of someday transforming into a hobby farm. Right now my focus, besides the kids, is my gardens.
