Cottage gardens are a timeless garden style with a relaxed feel, which is now enjoying extra attention as the Cottagecore trend gains momentum. Read on to recreate the style and discover the benefits.
Cottage gardens feature a range of colourful flowers that lift the mood and attract pollinators to the garden. Choose trees, shrubs and perennials with a range of heights to create a naturalistic, informal structure. Cherry Blossom and Magnolia create show-stopping spring displays, whilst Hydrangea and Delphiniums feature abundant, showy blooms in summer.

Plant scented flowers alongside rustic paths or next to comfortable seating to make the most of their sweet fragrance. Rose and Lilac bushes are firm favourites, whilst Peonies are amongst the most pretty perennials. Fragrant climbers like Honeysuckle and Sweet Peas growing over an archway is a sensory delight.
