With a cottage garden there really is no plan,they are a riot of colour with
plants crammed in were ever they fit.Let them selfseed to make it look more
natural.You could also grow hollyhocks,poppies,helenium,lupins,foxgloves &
entwine honeysuckle through hedging if you have one.What about rustic
wigwams with clematis or climbing scented roses.Herbs were they can be
touched or brushed past so you catch the scent.
Your getting me going now!
Have fun creating it.

I'm just about to reorganise one of my beds and I plan to plant it in a
cottage garden style.

Definite inclusions so far a- Delphiniums, Aquilegia (various),
Geranium, Echinacea, Euphorbia and possibly Lavender.

Any other "must haves" that I should consider? The bed is south and west
facing and gets full sun from 11am onwards. The soil is light, well
drained, and fairly sheltered.

Cheers,
