Hello,

I’m giving my garden a cottage garden makeover, but I’m on a shoestring
budget : )

pruned a bit

Mogga suggests joining Freecycle - I'd add to that check to see if
there's a local gardening society near you. That may be a source of
plants though they'd probably expect you to give something in return.

Try chatting to your neighbours. Gardening types will divide a lot of
plants in the spring because they've got too big or need rejuvenating.

You might try offering some of your time to help with the digging in
return for some plants.

Things like obelisks will probably result from someone doing a
makeover themselves but you could try making your own or you might get
by initially using a "wigwam" of bamboo canes which are relatively
cheap.
