More than 60 flower varieties are spotlighted, from archetypal David Austin roses to snapdragons, hollyhocks, love-in-a-mist, poppies, Echinacea, and cosmos. Naomi Slade celebrates the charm and nostalgia of the beloved cottage garden, blending deep horticultural knowledge with a strong sense of storytelling and place. Each flower’s history is explored alongside practical guidance for planting, growing, and cutting. Gardens of every style are represented, from quaint and delicate to more rambling and untamed.
