Survey says: ‘Cottage Garden’ style ranks No. 1

Colorful, whimsical and low maintenance. Those are the common characteristics of cottage-style gardens — and what makes them our most popular Plant By Numbers landscape design.

From curious yard art and meandering pathways to peculiar plants and edible herbs and vegetables, cottage gardens encourage visitors to linger and take it all in. Flowering plants and herbs fill and spill over the borders of the curated space.

Often designed with nooks or corners that draw the eye, no two cottage gardens are ever alike. And while maintenance is minimal, many cottage gardens embrace maximalism, or a “more is more” approach with an overabundance of colors, patterns, textures, and eccentric items.
