A cottage garden is a quaint and cozy garden, often with a rustic or vintage charm, typically featuring an array of colorful flowers and plants. There are many synonyms for cottage gardens, such as country garden, farm garden, homestead garden, or shabby chic garden. These gardens are known for their naturalistic, unstructured style, and use of heirloom or antique varieties. Other notable features include trellises and arbors covered in vines, fruit trees, and a soft color palette. These gardens are typically designed to be functional, providing fresh produce and herbs for the home, as well as a tranquil and inviting environment to relax and unwind.
