For Cottage Gardeners And Those Who Love Them
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
