(ed note. If you are thinking about designing a cottage garden of your own, you might enjoy my Spring 2001 Series on Cottage Garden Design.)
Still searching for cottage gardens, I found an inimitable little (brace yourself) garden scene at The Crones Cottage.
I think these crone creatures are absolutely great entries in the Fourth Annual Suite101.com Tacky Yard Art Contest. Please, if you would like to make some figures of your own, here are the carefully worded instructions:
Honestly, the crones made me think of the ostensibly harmless pinstruck.com which has nothing to do with cottage gardening (I hope!) but is rather fascinating nonetheless.
If your taste in garden folk leans toward the sweeter fantasies of fairies rather than crones and fake voodoo, take a look at these Adoptable Cottage Critters -- you won't find these special creatures just anywhere.
And be sure to check out my own practical design tips on Luring the Garden Fairy.
So, tell me. Do you have a firm mental picture of a cottage garden? A set of criteria or rules to be met? A new definition for the new millennium? If any garden style can evolve, this is the one.
ENJOY!
