The most beautiful yearbooks for a cottage garden

Who doesn’t like to wander around the paths of a flowering, colorful cottage garden? It is almost a kind of meditation for nature lovers and frustrated victims of modern day life. When you sit on an old-fashioned wooden bench that smells the spring breeze and sees butterflies fluttering around, you can hardly imagine that you can achieve this cozy look in your own garden – but surprisingly you can!

This style of gardening does not require strict rules and is relatively inexpensive and easy to maintain.

Perennials & Yearbooks

If you want to turn your own outdoor space into a romantic cottage garden, the first step is to learn about the differences between the most popular types of plants and their specific characteristics. When it comes to lifespan, we can roughly divide flowers into two main categories called perennials and annuals, although there are certain overlapping categories and special cases.

Perennial plants are considered permanent because they usually go through several seasons with relatively short flowering times per year. Annuals have a lifespan of one year with longer flowering times. Annuals need to be replanted every year, but they immediately add color, size and volume to your garden. They’re pretty cheap in that they can be grown from seeds if you want to get a significant amount of plants at once. and the close spacing of the flower beds doesn’t leave much room for weeds.

Mix & match

Ideally, a cottage garden should have a combination of different types of plants for a rich and complete look. The next time you visit the region Botanical GardenYou can find out what’s growing best in your region and what your preferences are in terms of lighting, irrigation and soil. After that, you can plan the design of your garden to have a relaxed, informal look by using tall flowering perennials, hardy biennials, climbing and border plants and of course the amazingly bright annuals. The overall feel should be graceful and charming, and homely structures like arbors, benches, fences, and walls can add to the natural beauty of the flowers. The key to creating a perfect cottage garden – regardless of your preferences for plants and decoration – is to plant a lot of flowers with romantic colors densely.
