A Cottage Border in Bloom | FREE Ready-to-Plant 10 x 4-Foot Garden Plan

Want the relaxed, flower-filled look of a cottage garden without guessing what to plant or where everything should go?

A Cottage Border in Bloom is a free 8-page printable garden plan designed to help you create a full-sun 10 x 4-foot cottage border with a practical planting layout already mapped out for you.

Instead of buying a collection of lovely plants and hoping they work together, you’ll know what to buy, how many plants you need, where to position them and how far apart to plant them.

Designed for USDA Zones 5–8, the plan combines classic cottage-garden favorites including roses, delphiniums, foxgloves, garden phlox, salvia, coneflowers, hardy geraniums, catmint and sweet alyssum.

The layout uses mature plant spacing rather than packing the border for instant impact, allowing the perennials to gradually knit together and soften the bed over the following growing seasons.
