Cottage Gardening is an old garden design technique that has been modernized to suit today's gardens. The idea is to plant flowers, herbs, shrubs, and trees all together to overflow with color and texture. It's organized chaos! Although it may seem unplanned, there actually is a method to the madness.

In this Cottage Gardening presentation Charlie Nardozzi will talk about the elements of a cottage garden beyond just the plants, and talk about ways to incorporate cottage garden ideas into your own gardens.

If you've ever gone to England, you know Cottage Gardens. These flower gardens seem to overflow with beauty and color all summer. But you don't have to be a professional gardener to grow such beauty!
