Cottage Garden Plants for August

Thinking of updating or designing a Cottage Garden? Lakeside has a great collection of plants, herbs and shrubs to get you started which is why they are our Plant of the Month for August. Alstromerias are half price - while stocks last - and make a pretty focal plant in all cottage gardens along with our Herbaceaous Mixes which are currently on a 3 for 2 offer. Originating in rural England, cottage gardens are informal and traditional with dense planting from a mixture of flowers and herbs creating a relaxed design. At the heart of a Cottage Garden is rustic charm, blended colours, high fragrance and informal layering. Thyme flies when cottage gardening!
