- Description
-
Name: Foundation Planting: Herb & Flower Cottage Garden
Open to the public? No
County:
USDA Hardiness Zone:
Extension Demonstration Garden? No
Approximate year the garden/landscape was established: ca. 2004
What to look for: An enclosed picket fence yard provides the perfect setting for borders of herbs and flowers. Some plants stay from year to year, while others are annuals, growing with enthusiasm for one season. This delightful space changes with the seasons, each plant taking its turn to shine.
The borders contain plants the homeowners use, such as herbs and Malabar spinach, and plants that provide food for Swallowtail and Monarch butterflies.
