This page is to collate everything “Cottage Gardening” on the site and in my bookmarks.
So many of us love this type of garden, that I thought it would be enjoyable to view Cottage Gardening around the web -whether we make our own or simply visit.

I’ll plant and water, sow and weed,
Till not an inch of earth shows brown,
And take a vow of each small seed
To grow to greenness and renown:
And then some day you’ll pass my way,
See gold and crimson, bell and star,
And catch my garden’s soul, and say:
“How sweet these cottage gardens are!”
– Edith Nesbit, the poem ‘Seed-Time and Harvest’
from the Pomander of Verse, 1895
