Beginner Tips For Creating A Cottage Garden (From A Beginner!) 

Greetings from Ireland, Beautiful garden, and Its the bees knees. Our front garden has four flower beds and fifty eight pots. My wife has no interest in gardening and she tells me it looks like a mini garden centre. We have a bigger garden out the back with grass, a glasshouse, water barrels and a no dig veg bed. Our front garden is a mixture of cottage garden flowers and prairie flowers both of which the bees and butterflies love. Next autumn I plan to create two big no dig flowers beds, I will divide flowerers from the front garden and plant them into the new beds. I have loads of homemade compost so I might as well use it in the beds. I grow annuals from seeds and they can be planted into the new beds. I had no interest in gardening twenty years ago and learned a lot over the the years from books and the internet.

It would be very helpful if you could name the plants as you tour .I think many people watch these videos for inspiration and to see certain plants true form ,height and colour so it's useful to know varieties 🙂

Love your garden Angela! I grow small spaces vertical gardening , pots and grow bags for my fruit trees but the yard is lawn, some of it anyway. Thank you for sharing your beauty here!

I’ve watched lots of “Cottage Garden” videos and this is by far the most helpful 💕I’ve always kept my garden neat and tidy but longed for this style of garden. This years I’m going for it 🥰 and your tips have helped so much. Thank You ❣️ I have subscribed and liked and now I’m going to get a cup of tea and watch the rest of your videos. 🌿🪴🌹🪴🌿

Girl , your a natural . Your flowers Collections are gorgeous. Thank you for sharing.

Your garden is gorgeous Angela! 🌷🌹🌸 I’m completely with you on the subject of colour … I love blues, pinks, purples in my cottage garden at the front in the sun … but my back garden spends a lot of time in deep shade, so I’m developing a mostly green planting plan, with reds & oranges for colour. It’s only in its very early days! It’s lovely to see yours looking so beautiful. And I love your jam pan planter, I’ve often wondered about doing exactly that whenever I saw one in a charity shop, so next time I’ll buy it! 😊 Many thanks, Ruthie x

Beautiful garden, thanks for the tips.I just began this year and I’m slowly learning, I know the plants that I love, and I’m enjoying them! 🥰👵🏽

I enjoy your video, Best cottage video I have seen so far,hope you will do many more

Really enjoyed this video. Thank you x

I love your garden!

I've binged on you this afternoon! You've created a haven.

Lovely video. I do agree naming at least some of the plants in this video should be ever so helpful.

❤❤ this thanks bunches loved your funnys that you add in too, how beautiful was it to see fox and her puppies. Sincerely Tracey.

Beautiful!

So lovely to look at , love the CG look, so beautiful and colorful.

Oh Angela your garden is absolutely glorious x I’m off to do more weeding in mine xxx

Your garden is better than a 'beginnier's garden' Angela! Passing your garden for the first time, I would never believe it was a beginner's garden. Your flowering plants are so healthy and gorgeous. I live in a climate very similar to England and have many of the same flowering plants in my garden. However, I'm always struggling and feeding the soil which is very poor in nutrients. I also love the curve of the flowering beds. Lovely, charming vlog. Thanks so much.

When I use containers that I have to drill holes in I stack my stones rather than lay them flat. They drain better. Such beautiful flowers. We don’t have plants like those here. It’s just basics. So I use seeds but this year cold got them and other plants I had potted. I also lost plants that I’ve had for years. I thought I lost my Ginger Lily but thankfully it recovered. Thanks for sharing 😊

Just gorgeous!-your sweet peas, and roses, and peonies, wisteria, hosta-the garden fragrance I’m sure is delightful and many precious bees 🐝 and butterflies 🦋 make your garden their home.🩷

Hello Angela, thank you for the pretty tutorial video. I always loved this look and last summer I started to transition my 20 year old garden to cottage style. My neighbours walk by and tell me how much they love the changes that I made. I have some injuries, awaiting hand and knee surgery and so I am forced to let things go more which is actually so much prettier and easier. I love the pastel tones too, I do have a little bit of red flowers for the hummingbirds and some pale yellow flowers. I am buying more white flowers to light and brighten my garden.

Just found your channel. Your garden is quite pretty and relaxing! 🌻I am constantly learning also, with many garden disasters to my credit. LOL. My current garden has 3 distinct microclimates that are challenging bc it took a while to understand what was going on. 😊

Beautiful, I enjoyed watching. Happy gardening!

Very useful video 💕💕. Would love another garden tour set to music.

Thank you. I have really enjoyed this video of your lovely garden. I have subscribed so I can enjoy more of your videos. God bless you from Vera in Ireland ❤

I’ve tried to close this several times, but I keep opening it up again..! LOL I need to get to work, but love being here… for the peace and joy..! I’m really old, but would love to begin, just the same… Already established plants are a delight… I can at least get ‘a season’ out of it..! 😉❤️ Lovely. Thank you..! ❤❤❤

Lovely relaxing video and your garden is just gorgeous 😊👌 I really like the idea of having a colour schemebin the garden similar to in the house, i'd never thought of that but it makes sense now x

Your garden us gorgeous 💚

I never thought about learning about gardening because it's just too intimating. I really like your approachable guidelines and tips. Instant subscribed ❤️

Loved your advice and your garden! I have a cottage garden in Florida full sun. Quite a challenge. It helped me to realize that it is always a work in progress & never gonna be perfect. I hated weeding until i learned to enjoy the process. I grow mainly for cutting flowers too. My big complaint is my cats like to rearrange my flowers for me & sip the water from them.😡

Loved the plants but miss seeing a garden.

Very pretty! Nice work!

Such a beautiful video- do you grow any of your plants from seeds? 😊👌🌿🌸

your garden is beautiful, your presentation video is nice too, I must say though your clips of movies was a bit bizarre because your voice and garden is soothing and then a sudden clip threw me off a bit.

Beautiful! HOW do you keep up with the weeds?

How do you treat your cut flowers before cutting bringing into your home?

A real beginner tip: If you're on a budget (or not) avoid those crazy expensive garden centers and get your plants at nurseries. You'll save hundreds and hundreds of pounds.

I WISH I could shop for plants. Being a non-driver I have to pay BLOOD online and end up being sent teensy plugs.

What was that clip

What movie is that clip with the gorgeous guy from? Lol

Hi im new to your channel

More of the garden and less colse up on plants i watched the vid and still have no idea what ur cottage garden desin is and if this is ment to hlep create a garden seein your garden would help loads

Any true gardener knows not to go to a garden store without a list! Shop online without one instead!!!😂
