Lots of cottage gardens are contained along the borders. That makes it more manageable and allows you to keep most of the grass. Cottage gardening is more about a diversity in plants / colors than the absence of grass.

You are going to stress yourself out trying to achieve a garden like this. One, many of the plants in this pic bloom only a few weeks a year, not months. Also, there are a lots of plants in the ground in the pic: I know this is a silly statement, but hear me out, someone had to put all these plants in the ground and pay for them $$$$$ plants have become expensive after COVID. In addittion, plants are subject to bugs and diseases and fungi, a garden like the one in the pic doesn't get that way without a lot of chemicals. Lastly, weeds will get in they way unless you mulch, and this style doesn't really accommodate mulching. [/quote]
That’s actually an easy garden to put in and maintain. The bed is very neatly mulched. And plants aren’t that expensive if you know where to buy them.[/quote]

or grow from seeds. [/quote]
