A Backyard Cottage-Garden Companion

The Cottage Garden Companion

A painted cottage garden: a thatched stone cottage among flower borders and a winding path, beneath the title “The Cottage Garden Companion.”

A small, growing toolbox of plain-spoken helpers for the home gardener — feed your beds, pair your plants, and tend a cottage border with a little more confidence. Pick a tool and dig in.
