Anatomy of a Cottage Garden
I am a cottage style gardener. I use annuals, perennials, and junk. I like to add height and vary heights. I have diagrammed and labeled the plant and junk material for you on my blog. I don't follow a lot of rules. I just put the tall ones in back and shorter ones in front.
