Cottage Garden Plan 8’ x 14’
Looking for a garden that will remind you of an English Country Garden with purple, yellow and a touch of white flowers?
This is the garden for you, medium purple to tall yellow flowers that will attract pollinators and people alike. These plants don’t like it dry so make sure the hose reaches to keep them medium-moist but they like the sun…just like a cottage garden should. We have put a sampling of 8 great species in this garden.

NOTE: Every site is different. We encourage you to adapt this plan to your own site. If you have a specific condition, we can help connect you to resources. There is a native plant for almost all conditions! Remember, it’s a learning process. Plants are kind of like people, you need to get to know them to understand what they need to be happy!
