About Garden & Nature
A cottage garden is barely a garden at all — it's a conversation between the gardener and whatever decides to grow. Hollyhocks prop themselves against sun-warmed stone, foxgloves rise in spires of dusky purple, and peonies spill open with a scent that stops you mid-path. Nothing is too tidy; the whole point is the beautiful, unruly abundance of it.
