Description

A cottage garden is generally defined as an informal and individualistic planting of ornamental and edible plants including annuals, perennials, roses, shrubs, vines, small trees, herbs, and vegetables. Done thoughtfully, colorful cottage gardens can be created that are simultaneously water wise and even provide habitat for birds and pollinators.Join landscape designer Galen Fultz as he discusses the science and art of creating the water wise cottage garden.
