~ Cottage Garden Border ~
Just a few of the plants growing in my border, it doesn't look like theres many but when you write a list of things you've grown or bought it soon adds up.
Repeating plants throughout to give rhythm, flow & movement. Planting in groups of 3 or 5 so the border is not looked as cluttered but draws the eye along.
I love growing from seed, 1 little seed produces 1 plant its amazing! Its not long before i'll be starting my Biennials (grown now - roots & leaves establish ready to flower next Spring).
Some are self seeders so once they've finished flowering left to dry & gone to seed they will spread & re appear in your borders.
Shrubs & trees add structure & all round interest, these help fill the gaps.
I've still got a few things to plant out, a few little gaps. Maybe another border is needed.. Watch this space!
Will you give seed sowing a go?! Let me know ♡
