Loved the color and ideas of what to grow!

I’m not sure what location this was, but caught this was filmed in July which explained why July flowers were blooming at the end of August. Lol, I know petunias don’t look that good in August.
Lots of color 🤩

Beautiful garden! Does Garden Gate ever make it down to Houston or south east Texas? Would love to see how our local gardeners are managing in our hot humid weather. It's been a rough month or so.

Why plant butterfly weed, which is a host plant for
Butterflies, just to cut them back? I don’t think she took the hint about the caterpillars possibly hiding. 🤔

What makes this a cottage garden? I'm quite surprised at the cottage garden title with this design. Her garden is far from that with the rectalinear paths and boxed raised bed structures. It lack the delight factor of cottage garden designs I've seen over the years for sure.

Cottage gardens historically were something anyone could create in any space and held more than flowers. Boxed flower garden maybe? It was underwhelming and a disappointment.
