Cottage Garden Month-by-Month Book

Fulfill your dream of living in the informality and exuberance of a cottage garden surrounding your home. Spread your activities out over the year, with something to do each month. Make paths, establish borders, build arches and arbors, and grow dozens of cottage garden flowers, vegetables, fruits, herb gardens, salad crops, potpourri, container gardens, bushes and cordons, espaliers and fans, even a garden for bees—there's one project for each month. Checklists for seasonal tasks accompany the instructions for how to do them, and feature time-saving shortcuts. Profiles of plants show which ones work best for arches, trellises, porches, and pergolas, as well as stunning ways to bring the cottage garden look indoors. 144 pages (72 in color), 7 3/4 X 10 1/4.
