English Cottage Gardening by Margaret Hensel

English Cottage Gardening by Margaret Hensel

This book came out in 2000, and the subtitle is For American Gardeners, Revised Edition.

In this book, Margaret shares everything she knows about English Cottage Gardening and is as charming as her topic.

Margaret breaks down ten cottage gardens owned by everyday gardeners in England and America. By deliberately not focusing on estate gardens, Margaret shows Daily Gardeners how anyone can cultivate the charm of a cottage garden.

With inspiring photographs, Margaret focuses on plants that are easy to grow and give the look cottage gardeners love - enchanted shapes and natural forms, gentle colors, and endearing varieties.

The last section of the book shares a glossary of 76 plant recommendations, including the Latin and common names, how to use them in the garden, and a list of places to find old rose varieties.

This book is 256 pages of an English Cottage Garden masterclass taught by a garden designer who loves teaching novice gardeners to create enchanting gardens and vistas right outside their windows.
