Lindsay Hendricks, Horticulture Manager

So, you want to create a cottage garden at home?! Join us for a three-part series that will spark your creativity just in time to help you plan your garden for the coming season. Learn the basics of cottage garden design, favorite plants and combinations, and inspiration to create your own, unique growing structures. Sign up for all three classes for the full experience! 

February 18: Designing a Cottage Garden – How to Get Started

The first step in planning a cottage garden is coming up with a design. This class will focus on the history of cottage gardening and design philosophy. We’ll ‘dip our toes’ into common cottage plants by talking about ‘heirlooms’ and how modern cultivars fit into the cottage garden aesthetic.  

March 11: Planting a Cottage Garden – Favorite Flowers and Combinations 

After learning about cottage garden design, it’s time to focus on the fun part, picking out plants! This class will cover traditional cottage garden plants, ornamental edibles & veggies, HOT plants (Lindsay/guest/member favorites), container ideas, and favorite plant combinations. Be prepared for lots of photos for inspiration! 

April 15: Supporting a Cottage Garden – Build Unique Structures to Grow Vertically

Once you’ve chosen your plants, you may realize some of them have a tendency to sprawl and need additional growing support. This class will provide general guidelines of how to go about building your own unique growing structures, including which tools, supplies, and materials are commonly used in the Vanderperren English Cottage Garden, as well as favorite plants to grow vertically. Photos of previously built and existing structures will spark your creativity, as you finally realize why a cottage gardener never throws anything away!
