This video was released 6-16-19 It is 5-10-23 almost 4 years later and this is my dream style cottage garden. I have watched this video so many times. I have purchased a lot of these plants and as Laura says it can take years. I don’t have the roses. All 13 of the spearmint heucheras didn’t make it.😢 I think it is due to how rocky and old tree rooty my soil is even know I tried to remove as much as I could. I am loving the development of my area. I don’t have a fence. The year before I saw this video I had put in a whole row of arborvitaes. It is pretty in a different way…I put a wagon wheel in the corner and it added a nice charm to the bed. Mother’s Day is around the corner and told my husband that I would like a Lady Gardner Rose instead of a bouquet of roses. Last year I scattered cosmos seeds in the bare areas and it looked spectacular.
I may have already commented a few years ago...but I had to mention. The fact that you actually SAT DOWN and had a "CONVERSATION" with the viewers in the midst of your instructional video is what makes you magic Laura. I'd like to see an update of this area, as I have several of these plants but would like to see how they perform elsewhere. Thank You
Hi Laura, I have created a new flower bed and wanted to get some ideas from you about planting it. Your wonderful videos are timeless and I find them so helpful. I cannot count the number of times I’ve watched them to get a how-to refresher. I appreciate you and Aaron so very much for all your hard work making videos for all of us. You’re both so talented and amazingly ambitious! I have made my own backyard much prettier because of ideas I have gotten from the two of you 🤗 Thank you!!
Laura, I really appreciate this type of video. I like how you sat down and talked to us about the basics of cottage gardens. I would love to see more instructional videos like this. With you as our teacher we'll all have beautiful gardens! 🌸🌿🌼❤️❤️
I am a little late watching this video but wanted to tell you since we have a smart tv I have been addicted to you on our TV by RUclips, of course!! We live in Aiken SC and are in a area of Sugar Sand....and we are native to Ohio; so what a difference!!....you help me so so much...right now I am fighting breast cancer and have 5 more treatments and then radiation.....we caught it in stage 2, Praise God....but OH, this changes our perspective of living....we are 70 and celebrated our 50th at the beginning of our Cancer treatment journey....so my hub buzzed my head 2 days later; as it was coming out in clumps....so when I can be in the sun again, I have so many plans for our farmhouse outisde....we also rennovated and added an addition to the house....I love how hard working you both are.....we lived in Lebaon Oregon area for a short time....LOVED SEEING MT HOOD ON A CLEAR DAY....AND THEN THE RAINBOWS!!!!!! WOW!!!!! GOD BLESS!!!
Couldn’t sleep last night and stumbled upon this wonderful video and fell in love with your garden and your presentation. I do NOT have a green thumb but I SO desire a garden like this one. My husband and I turned a barn into a home four years ago and for the past four years I’ve been working on one particular area that’s visible from the road - trying to make it aesthetically pleasing. I’ve planted several different things but nothing has satisfied me, and now I know why. The cottage style theme is what I long to create. Thank you so much for these wonderful tips. I hope I can bring it all together.
Cottage gardens are absolutely my favorite type of garden. There’s just some thing about the whimsical nature of it that makes you wanna just stay in it for some time yknow? It’s totally my dream garden when I grow up.
What a sweet garden. I love the soft colors in a garden. But I also love the red roses . You inspire me to want to work in our yard. We have deer so I need to research what I can plant that the deer won’t eat..but still have color in the garden.
i just came across this video this am. We moved to our new home last fall and have been dying to plant some new items in our front flower bed. This helps me so much. Thank you
I'm am learning exponentially with every video of yours that I watch. I'm one of 'those' people who loves to assimilate as much information as they can, so I'm hoping if I listen to these more than seventeen times I'll commit them to memory 🤣! It is so therapeutic to engage in any form of gardening, even if one only watches someone else do it, so you're being an immense benefit to those of us with anxiety issues, as well as folks who need gardening guidance. Thank you for all you do, and God Bless. 💜🕯🙏🏻
I've never heard of a cottage garden... until now. 😁 I'm super excited to realize that this is what I'm doing with my front flower bed without knowing it. 💖 I feel better knowing that I'll have "empty space" until my new plants have time to expand to their fullest potential. Patience is not my virtue, but I feel better about being able to enjoy each of the stages.
Thania Luisa my husband knows when I go on a Garden answer binge session. That our bank account is gonna suffer because I’m gonna be going to the garden center.
YESSSSS sit down and teach the kids. We need to knowwww. Great rules and love seeing it in action. Cant wait to see this garden fill out juxtapose to your more formal style!
Love the introduction of the next year plants, yarrow and allium! They are so pretty. This is a beautiful garden. The roses !!! The clematis, cats pajamas!! Everything! 💕💕💕
This helped me feel a little better about how my cottage garden is coming along. This is the third season since we created our front bed (an 18'x20' triangle) and I was sitting here thinking I've really messed up. But each of your tips I'm like, "yup, done. Did that. Did that too. Oh, be patient? Okay." So patience (and shoving in more plants) it is!
This is probably one of my favorite spaces that you've done! I love everything about this bed and I am going to try to mimic it!! Great tips too! Thank you so much for the inspiration.
Agreed!! I have two beds with anchor roses already established but little else...now I know what to do with them 😊 I adore the cottage style! Thanks for the wonderful overall tips too.
Your comments about not pressuring yourself to get a cottage garden perfect and filled in one or several years was exactly what I needed to hear haha. I’ve been putting so much pressure on myself to have my cottage garden beds perfect right away.
Although this is about a year old, I chose to watch it for some ideas for in front of our house this year. I love the cottage idea, but I get a little insecure when it comes to combining colors and textures. I know what I like, but it doesn’t always turn out quite like I’d hoped. Thanks for this great video! Just love what you do! 💖
I don't have time for the formal garden style. I love a cottage garden. All you tips are excellent. I have incorporated plant and purchased products you have mentioned. And your videos motivate my husband.... Lol. Thank God for that.. xoxox
Saving this video. I keep wanting to make a cottage style garden that runs along my back fence and it keeps getting put off because it’s such a big space and I never have enough money to do it all. Your video just inspired me to get it started doing a small section maybe 10 feet and then expand the bed when time and money permits.
I found your channel a few weeks ago and have watched dozens of your videos, this one is one of my favs!!! I am new to gardening and couldn't quite piece together my style, but this NAILED it! I love the cottage style so much! So free & whimsical. I also have 3 large full sun flower beds that are almost completely empty, thanks for the wonderful inspiration! Can't wait to try some PW plants in my gardens.
I have been following you for about 3 years; I also look at other gardeners as well. But, this little garden is totally me, not perfect! I wish I had found this video a few years ago. But, I already have ideas on how to modify my little garden. Thank you for making these videos; I know they are challenging sometimes.
Laura your video's are always awesome to me I gain some of you idea's to add different things into my gardens. Most of what I try to plant is shrubs and things that come up year after year..Aaron you do a great job with your camera such a sweet memory to share with us all.
Laura ~ I Love That You Decided To Continue The ' Pallet Walkway ' Beyond The Chicken Coop. This Entire Area Is So Charming ! I Can't Help But To Describe It As . . . French Country Chic' . . . Well Done My Friend !
Love the way you explain the garden. Anchor plants, accent plants, structure, watch your videos all the time and learn something new. Hugs to the kiddos!
I ALWAYS wanted a cottage garden; but, it never came to pass. For all you other GA gardeners, if a cottage garden is the style you love and want, start on it as soon as you can! Don't be like me! When I became partially disabled, I had to put my plans for a cottage style garden on "the back burner;" but, it was ok because I was still young & was ok waiting. I settled for ordering & placing a large, metal, 3-panel trellis (for interest) off-center in a 25' x 7' bed. I was able to add 3 cllimbing roses in a fanned out pattern in front of & at the side of the trellis. I loved the way the deep pink roses looked against the silvery gray metal! When I had initially decided on the cottage garden style, I had planted a miniature climbing rose with clusters of delicate pink blooms, near one end of the bed with a pretty, metal, fan-shaped trellis to climb on. I added a purple clematis at that same trellis, thinking it was big enough to support both plants. I never dreamed the "miniature" rose would rocket to the eaves of my house and continue growing onto my roof! The clematis proceeded to use both the rose and trellis for support and I love that end of the bed to this day! That clematis had to be replaced quite a few years ago; but, the 2nd one also took off like a rocket! Several feet from that end of the bed, I had a lilac colored Rose-of-Sharon with a maroon throat planted. The opposite end of that bed was "loosely" anchored with a deep, burgundy-colored Japanese maple. I added a perennial hibiscus with large, white flowers on one side of the little tree. The bed makes an ell on the other side of the tree and I have a drift of seven, light bluish-purple hydrangeas there. The white hibiscus, 3 Lady's Mantles and a St. Fiacre' statue were the last additions I was able to make to the first bed of MY "cottage garden" My health took a much worse turn and houseplants are the only things I grow, now. So, gardeners, don't put off your dreams if you don't have to! It's true that tomorrow isn't a sure thing for any of us! I'm simply saying, don't wait or put off your dreams that you can make realities, today! Thanks so much for sharing your tips and new cottage flower bed with us, Laura! God bless you all.🌾💜
Laura this is one of my favorite areas in your garden. My entire garden is in English Cottage style. I just love the way the informal look of the plantings compliment one another but the colors are so perfect. You have great taste.
Thanks for the education! I have a new cottage in northern Michigan that I will be landscaping soon. I’m so used to a formal boxwood with annuals garden in our subdivision it’s inspiring to see something different.
I love your cat. I'm sure you hear that constantly. Girl I have spent so much money on plants and seeds this year because you show us so many beauties. I'm from Wyoming zone 4. It's still snowing here. With more snow on the way. Your show keeps me sane.
I love cottage gardens and all my gardens follow this style. Thanks for the tips. One my fav things you do, take a blank space and make it beautiful! So inspiring!
Toronto Ontario Canada...Hi Laura, there are so many wonderful things to say about you that everyone else has already mentioned. A few being thank you and you are adorable. I am from Toronto Ontario Canada. 😉 I found you through a RUclips channel that I have been following for a few years. At home with Nikki. You must must look into her. She does not like gardening but your Technique in the placement of plants before starting is what caught her attention. She is a home and Business organizer and has a pet RUclips channel as well. She is second-to-none and completely off the chart in organizing. Because of her mentioning your site is how I found you. I am sharing your RUclips channel with all my clients here in Toronto Ontario Canada and some of them are already calling you there Guru. I do not know Nikki as she is in the states and I am in Canada but she just recently did a video on a front garden and she has used your Technique and mentions you. One last thing, 4 days after I started following you Channel I received my new gardening Magazine and there you were. Amazing how it all works. Thank you thank you thank you and all the best to you and your beautiful little family.
Love the cottage style gardening. It fits my gardening personality. I have had formal gardeners look at me like I'm a mess. So I taught them different styles.
My garden center should be sending you commission on what I’ve run to find after I watch your videos. 🤓☺️. I love those allium!! I went berserk on catmint and Russian sage this year. The catmint has been spectacular and now the sage is starting to bloom so the pollinators are profuse! Thanks for bringing the gardener in me back to life, Laura and Aaron! 😀
I reeeaaalllyyy love this type of video. I'm new to gardening and love this type of garden. It's so helpful to see the thought process. I'd love to see a similar video and/or get suggestions on plants for a cottage *shade* garden. Happy fathers day, Aaron! ❤️
You have a great varieties of flowers to choose from, lots of useful tips to take from, I recommend people who love gardening need to watch this video.
💞💞💞💞 I really loved this video not just because of the plants but the time you took to explain everything you where doing... would love to see more of this type of video!!!! Much love 😍😍😍😍
What a Beautiful Cottage garden. Loving the pretty colors and the different flowers. Cottage gardens are my Favorite.. Thank You for Sharing 🌼🌼🌼 Happy Fathers Day Aaron.
Can't wait to get started here in Missoula MT, in my new little yard! Had amazing cottage gardens w/many various vintage gates (still have), I collected over 25 years. Had a picket fence around my big side yard at my home in Frenchtown MT on wooded 5 acre property. It all evolved over a 26 yr period into charming/amazing smells/sites. Started it all when my twin boys were babies, by digging from a couple different friends gardens. Thank you for this tranquil video, as I start all over🌸🌿
Cottage style gardens are my favorite. We’re hoping to have our house repainted in the next year or two, and then I would like to do a cottage garden bed along the front of our house. I just love the whimsy of it. ❤️
Gorgeous! I think this is one of my favorite beds, loving the roses they are so beautiful. What a nice video to watch on Father's Day. Tell Aaron to have a great day. Thanks again, see you soon.
Love this style of garden, so refreshing, thank you for the inspiration. We’ve recently built our home on our farm and I’m now living in what used to be a cow pasture lol, coming from a home we had lived in for 20 years so my flower beds there were really taking shape and were well established... this blank slate I’ve been given . Is a little overwhelming and I keep reminding myself the last place took time too.. shopping the clearance racks st the garden center has helped me in stretching my Garden budget and starting plants from seeds has helped too..
Thank you for this confirmation that it takes years and that it is a process. I just started my cottage garden. Started with just roses last year. Adding plants this year...friend giving me plants and me buying my own. Then some small urns. This garden is slowly revealing itself. That's the fun...
Laura... This was so fun. I've been gardening for many years but I always learn something from your videos. Always nice to get a new perspective. I also get excited when you bring up something that I do as well. Gardening does involve patience and is a work in progress. Love from Colorado.
Love your videos! I love how you explain the whole process and your videos are so professional! The longer they are, the happier I am! I love everything about you and your family!! So sweet!💗
These Tips were soooo helpful !!! :) I've been listening to lots of gardening videos on how to do a cottage garden and you are the first one who has explained everything I need to know to get started.Great Information. Thanks for info on spacing, that helps a lot !!
This was one of my favorite videos! I love learning about the different styles of gardens (although I think Cottage is my favorite). The color palette is beautiful. I love how the garden is dainty next to the more rustic pallet walkway.
Oh Laura this is my favourite type of gardening! Hubby and I are still looking for our first house (partially because I need a house that suits this style garden 😂)
You’re garden is just absolutely beautiful! You’re such an inspiration and give me sooo many ideas! This is my first year gardening and I actually plan on expanding my garden next year and so I absolutely love your videos. You’re my favorite gardener!
My absolute favorite garden style! Love, love, love it! Am I the only person who saw that walkway nail popped up and kept thinking "please don't trip on that!" 🤞😂
Meh. She knew it wasn't going to last. She only spent about $75 on it so it's basically a temporary thing. I'm sure if it becomes a hazard, she'll just rip it out.
Oh how very soft and pretty Laura, I love the plants and color combination! Those roses intrigue me, guess I'll have to get some next year as my cottage garden evolves. By the way, Happy Father's Day Aaron, I hope you have a good one. I also loved seeing Russell and Cheddar in this video. I love and appreciate all the hard work that you guys do and the fact that you take us along with you as you create beautiful gardens!
Ditto! P.S.-- I forgot to add - 1. Aaron, maybe someday would you consider assembling a playlist? Wow you underscore with great music! Could be "planting music" for our headsets. 2. Can we get a peek at how big the chickens are now and how the nesting boxes are working? Surround of the coop/yard looks so beautiful. Love cottage gardens, esp. yours!
Yes please tell us what song you used during the planting sequence, it’s beautiful!!! Another amazing video, thank you for giving such helpful information and gorgeous inspiration ♥️
I enjoy your knowledge and expertise, thank you! My favorite gardens are cottage gardens as it gives me an excuse not have perfection. 😄. What you stated about color harmony is very helpful and I need to keep this in mind with my gardens.
We just put in a cottage garden and I so wish I had watched this video first!! You gave some great info, if we end up making any changes to ours in the upcoming years, I’ll be sure to follow some of this advice!
You've inspired me so much and your enthusiasm is contagious. I've gotten lazy about planting more flowers but not so this year. I have lots of seeds started and can hardly wait to plant. Thank you for sharing your love for gardening.

Thanks, it's refreshing to listen to someone who knows what they're talking about. So many gardening videos on RUclips are full of gaff.
Laura you sounds like an encyclopedia of all the plants, foliage and flowers that exist. The area you created is so pretty. 🌺🌻🌷🌿🧡

I just came home from a two-week vacation with limited Internet access, so I've been binge-watching Garden Answer videos ALL day. I regret nothing!
polkadottedpolak we were moving so I had almost no internet access so I feel you. I‘m watching GA videos the whole day already 🌻
Cottage gardens are absolutely my favorite type of garden. There’s just some thing about the whimsical nature of it that makes you wanna just stay in it for some time yknow? It’s totally my dream garden when I grow up.

I do exactly that, my garden center Loves me ;)

Me too!

I’m just so anxious to follow some of your ideas in my garden I’d don’t know how i can wait till spring
Absolutely loved this video! So informative especially for new Gardner’s who don’t really know how or where to start. 👍🏽👍🏽
Agree
I love cottage gardens and all my gardens follow this style. Thanks for the tips. One my fav things you do, take a blank space and make it beautiful! So inspiring!
Hello beautiful
Cottage gardens are my favorite and it’s what I aim for in my garden...I love it
Toronto Ontario Canada...Hi Laura, there are so many wonderful things to say about you that everyone else has already mentioned. A few being thank you and you are adorable. I am from Toronto Ontario Canada. 😉 I found you through a RUclips channel that I have been following for a few years. At home with Nikki. You must must look into her. She does not like gardening but your Technique in the placement of plants before starting is what caught her attention. She is a home and Business organizer and has a pet RUclips channel as well. She is second-to-none and completely off the chart in organizing. Because of her mentioning your site is how I found you. I am sharing your RUclips channel with all my clients here in Toronto Ontario Canada and some of them are already calling you there Guru. I do not know Nikki as she is in the states and I am in Canada but she just recently did a video on a front garden and she has used your Technique and mentions you. One last thing, 4 days after I started following you Channel I received my new gardening Magazine and there you were. Amazing how it all works. Thank you thank you thank you and all the best to you and your beautiful little family.
Love the cottage style gardening. It fits my gardening personality. I have had formal gardeners look at me like I'm a mess. So I taught them different styles.
Cottage style gardens are my absolute favorites! So so pretty!
Hello
I love how the garden looks different at various stages. All beautiful.
I love the same things that you love I love the softer colors the pinks the blues definitely love the cottage look
I love how Russell keeps popping up in funny places in all of your videos😂
I liked the tips about spacing and having different heights and textures in the garden. Something for me to think about thank you.
This is so beautiful. Now I can show this to my husband so he can understand what I want in the backyard. Thank you.
My garden center should be sending you commission on what I’ve run to find after I watch your videos. 🤓☺️. I love those allium!! I went berserk on catmint and Russian sage this year. The catmint has been spectacular and now the sage is starting to bloom so the pollinators are profuse! Thanks for bringing the gardener in me back to life, Laura and Aaron! 😀
This is my favorite style of garden. They just seem to meander along to me. Love the color and plant choices. Beautiful garden already.
I reeeaaalllyyy love this type of video. I'm new to gardening and love this type of garden. It's so helpful to see the thought process. I'd love to see a similar video and/or get suggestions on plants for a cottage *shade* garden. Happy fathers day, Aaron! ❤️
Hello, how are you doing my friend?
You have a great varieties of flowers to choose from, lots of useful tips to take from, I recommend people who love gardening need to watch this video.

💞💞💞💞 I really loved this video not just because of the plants but the time you took to explain everything you where doing... would love to see more of this type of video!!!! Much love 😍😍😍😍
What a Beautiful Cottage garden.
Loving the pretty colors and the different flowers.
Cottage gardens are my Favorite..
Thank You for Sharing 🌼🌼🌼
Happy Fathers Day Aaron.
Hello beautiful
Can't wait to get started here in Missoula MT, in my new little yard! Had amazing cottage gardens w/many various vintage gates (still have), I collected over 25 years. Had a picket fence around my big side yard at my home in Frenchtown MT on wooded 5 acre property. It all evolved over a 26 yr period into charming/amazing smells/sites. Started it all when my twin boys were babies, by digging from a couple different friends gardens. Thank you for this tranquil video, as I start all over🌸🌿
So beautifully
Cottage style gardens are my favorite. We’re hoping to have our house repainted in the next year or two, and then I would like to do a cottage garden bed along the front of our house. I just love the whimsy of it. ❤️
Such a great variety!! I love planting cottage gardens. Thank you so much for sharing!! Your always such a pleasure to watch early in the morning🦋
Hello, how are you doing my friend
Can't wait for spring. My favorite is cottege gardening
I love these videos and the way you explain it step by step!
Hello beautiful
Gorgeous! I think this is one of my favorite beds, loving the roses they are so beautiful. What a nice video to watch on Father's Day. Tell Aaron to have a great day. Thanks again, see you soon.
Hello, how are you doing my friend
Laura, We need an update on this area this year. I love the cottage garden.
Me too
This is our style of gardening and we love it. The free form and evolution is really fun.
You make me want to plant ALL the things in my yard!! 😂😂😂😂
Hello
Love this style of garden, so refreshing, thank you for the inspiration. We’ve recently built our home on our farm and I’m now living in what used to be a cow pasture lol, coming from a home we had lived in for 20 years so my flower beds there were really taking shape and were well established... this blank slate I’ve been given . Is a little overwhelming and I keep reminding myself the last place took time too.. shopping the clearance racks st the garden center has helped me in stretching my Garden budget and starting plants from seeds has helped too..
Hello beautiful
Hello, how are you doing my friend
Thank you for this confirmation that it takes years and that it is a process. I just started my cottage garden. Started with just roses last year. Adding plants this year...friend giving me plants and me buying my own. Then some small urns. This garden is slowly revealing itself. That's the fun...
Laura... This was so fun. I've been gardening for many years but I always learn something from your videos. Always nice to get a new perspective. I also get excited when you bring up something that I do as well. Gardening does involve patience and is a work in progress. Love from Colorado.
Love your videos! I love how you explain the whole process and your videos are so professional! The longer they are, the happier I am! I love everything about you and your family!! So sweet!💗
Love Nepeta along a walkway especially with the roses, classic cottage garden, so pretty
How beautiful those white roses are
You look so pretty sitting there in your little chair surrounded by 🌸
These Tips were soooo helpful !!! :) I've been listening to lots of gardening videos on how to do a cottage garden and you are the first one who has explained everything I need to know to get started.Great Information. Thanks for info on spacing, that helps a lot !!
Ok, seems I have a cottage garden! No soldiers here 😉😄! There may be hope for my garden yet! Thank you for the inspiration.
Hello beautiful
The little peach tree is so cute.😊😊
Oh so pretty. Love the colors you chose. Happy Father's day to Aaron.
This was one of my favorite videos! I love learning about the different styles of gardens (although I think Cottage is my favorite). The color palette is beautiful. I love how the garden is dainty next to the more rustic pallet walkway.
Oh Laura this is my favourite type of gardening! Hubby and I are still looking for our first house (partially because I need a house that suits this style garden 😂)
Hello beautiful
Your desire shall be granted in Jesus Name Amen
Beautiful. As soon as it warms up I will be planting my garden. Thanks.
Cottage gardens are my favorite!
You’re garden is just absolutely beautiful! You’re such an inspiration and give me sooo many ideas! This is my first year gardening and I actually plan on expanding my garden next year and so I absolutely love your videos. You’re my favorite gardener!
Hello, how are you doing my friend
My absolute favorite garden style! Love, love, love it!
Am I the only person who saw that walkway nail popped up and kept thinking "please don't trip on that!" 🤞😂
Meh. She knew it wasn't going to last. She only spent about $75 on it so it's basically a temporary thing. I'm sure if it becomes a hazard, she'll just rip it out.
@@Bamboo4U2 Yea, she's got money.
Just moved to a tropical island where all plants are so masculine....BIG thank you Laura for sharing your"pretties". Love you guys 💚💚💚
I love the cottage garden style. I'll have to give it a try.
Really helped me. I now know what went wrong in my 'cottage' garden. ...especially, the 'soldiers ' throughout .
Oh how very soft and pretty Laura, I love the plants and color combination! Those roses intrigue me, guess I'll have to get some next year as my cottage garden evolves. By the way, Happy Father's Day Aaron, I hope you have a good one. I also loved seeing Russell and Cheddar in this video. I love and appreciate all the hard work that you guys do and the fact that you take us along with you as you create beautiful gardens!
Hello, how are you doing my friend
I think I found my style of gardening! Beautiful.
That is really helpful. We just built a house on a 1/2 acre, and i don’t know where to start on the yard ?
Your videos are very helpful.
Kim Freire You got this, Kim! One bed at a time! 😁
Ditto! P.S.-- I forgot to add - 1. Aaron, maybe someday would you consider assembling a playlist? Wow you underscore with great music! Could be "planting music" for our headsets. 2. Can we get a peek at how big the chickens are now and how the nesting boxes are working? Surround of the coop/yard looks so beautiful. Love cottage gardens, esp. yours!
Yes please tell us what song you used during the planting sequence, it’s beautiful!!! Another amazing video, thank you for giving such helpful information and gorgeous inspiration ♥️
Love, love, love the plants! And so much good information for those of us new to cottage gardening!
Hello, how are you doing my friend
Nature's work of art and you are the artist
I enjoy your knowledge and expertise, thank you! My favorite gardens are cottage gardens as it gives me an excuse not have perfection. 😄. What you stated about color harmony is very helpful and I need to keep this in mind with my gardens.
One of my favorite videos to date! So beautiful! Love the colors, the textures and the flower choices. So beautiful!
Hello beautiful
We just put in a cottage garden and I so wish I had watched this video first!! You gave some great info, if we end up making any changes to ours in the upcoming years, I’ll be sure to follow some of this advice!
This is so beautiful. I love the look of a cottage garden. It's the total opposite of my style, but I think it's lovely.
You've inspired me so much and your enthusiasm is contagious. I've gotten lazy about planting more flowers but not so this year. I have lots of seeds started and can hardly wait to plant. Thank you for sharing your love for gardening.
I could watch you all day lol. You are always so informative and I have learned so much from you. 🌷😘
