Pleasures of the cottage garden, 1999: p. 10 ("To me, the cottage garden is an informal series of plantings, featuring ornamentals or edibles or both, designed to avoid a show of wealth and located near the gardener's dwelling. By "informal" I mean that the cottage garden must not look micromanaged ... the look should be soft and spreading rather than rigid and controlled. Paths should be wide enough for easy strolling and wheelbarrowing; and the garden must include plants that hold strong positive emotional association for gardener.") Morrow dict. of landscape architecture (Cottage garden. A compact planting area around a small city or country dwelling used for the cultivation of flowers and herbs and, occasionally, vegetables. The modern cottage garden generally dates from the mid-nineteenth century in Britain and Holland, and is naturalistic and vernacular in form and very casual and easy in feeling.)
