The Growing Season, Sept. 21, 2024 - Being Stylish: Country Cottage Gardens

“Questions, concerns, queries?” Lets chat!Cottage season is drawing to a close, with many of us lamenting it’s exit. BUT, that doesn’t mean we can’t squeeze the few final drops of cottaging into this week’s episode of The Growing Season. Jack, Lynne and Matt McFarland do an about face from last week’s affairs and dove into the colourful chaos of Country Cottage Gardens on this week’s episode of The Growing Season. What is the difference between Japanese Gardens and Country Cottage Gardens?  Are there tie-ins between English Gardens and Country Cottage Gardens?  Yup and we explore those connections. Feel free to use a plethora of perennials in your Country Cottage Garden. The more stems the better as it lends to the chaos. Can you use roses in a Country Cottage Garden and still be “on theme?” Matt talks about an interesting technique he uses for rock that he’s applied to shrubs. Native/pollinator plants are discussed. Mind your neighbours - they might have a part to play in your landscape design choices. Tune in.
