3 out of 5 stars Great for the pictures   August 15, 2007
 2 out of 3 found this review helpful

But of little use if you're a novice looking for more of a "how-to" guide with practical advice on what flowers, etc. to plant and when. It got to the point I hardly read the text by the end.


1 out of 5 stars Will not teach you how to create a cottage garden   January 28, 2007

Beautiful pictures, impenetrably dense text. I got this because of all the great reviews, but I have to disagree with them. I was expecting "how to create a cottage garden," but this is more like "two dozen cottage gardens and the two million plants that are in them." It was information overload, and yet not very informative. I was very disappointed. I returned this and got COTTAGE GARDENS (LETTS GUIDES TO GARDEN DESIGN), which was much cheaper and much more what I was looking for.


2 out of 5 stars Huge disappointment   December 21, 2006

This book is full of lovely photographs of English cottage gardens but I found it to be of no use to me as a gardener in the United States. The so-called layout plans are just rough sketches with no labeling of plants. The growing guidelines and plant lists are standard--nothing new there. I enjoyed looking at photos of Tasha Tudor's gardens but I think this book is a waste of money.

A great guide on creating a cottage garden for those new to gardening.


4 out of 5 stars Useful, although I do not live in North America!   November 9, 2006

I just love english gardens. That is why i bought this book, thinking that I would just have a great time looking at the photos, but I must say, it has been a great tool when working on my "english garden to be". As I don't live North America, I turn aroung the seasons and I'm ok!
