COTTAGE GARDENS (RIZZOLI) (HB)

Beloved for their informality, cottage gardens champion organic and unstructured spaces overflowing with textures and colours while welcoming self-sown plants and bulbs popping up and spreading on their own. Appearing casual, everything is done with great intent. Taking a 360-degree view, this book covers plant combinations, paths and walls, water features, keeping chickens or bees, and extending the season, as well as promoting traditional, organic practices such as composting, rain harvesting, and succession planting.
