[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Into this style, but  have no idea where to begin. I feel like this climate isn't that conducive to cottage gardening, as I associate this style with New England or English gardens.

[quote]I think they are really cute, but can get untidy and unsightly very quickly if you aren't on top of everything or if the design doesn't account for the seasons well enough.[/quote]

I'm starting to get into gardening and would like to kind of do this style, but I have no idea where to start in regards to the design. I see flowers that I like and it matches my sun /moisture level but how do I go about tying all those different plants together for a well designed look?[/quote]

Make a small bed, look at some designs online and go for it. You’ll develop an eye for it after you’ve thrown some stuff together.  Expecting perfection the first time out will just stop you in your tracks. Don’t be afraid or you’ll miss out on the fun.  Just give it a try and it will be prettier than you expect.

I mulch heavily to help deal with the weeds.
