"This is a wonderful little book. It isn't big, but it's packed full of useful information on how to create the quintessential English cottage garden look. Christopher Lloyd was one the leading gardening experts of the twentieth century, and his writing style is enjoyable, easy to read, and informative. He uses just enough personal anecdote to make it easy to relate to what he's explaining, without it becoming all about him. The Cottage Garden includes design ideas, plant lists, monthly task schedules, information about suitable outbuildings, paths, etc., as well as beautiful photographs of appropriate plants and garden features. It has everything anyone would need to create their own cottage garden style, which isn't so much a real style as it is low-maintenance informality. It has inspired me in so many ways that the trouble is now choosing which suggestions to follow."
"This is a lovely and terribly practical book covering many aspects of cottage gardening. While this book is clearly geared to those living in climates friendly to English plants, the material is definitely of enough value to be useful for those of us using plants more suited to our finicky regions. Photos and illustrations carefully break down the creation of giant seas of plantings. The emphasis is on planning and learning and creating a habit of gardening, leading one to let it take a life of its own. I will definitely use various aspects of this work in my garden development."
