In The Contemporary Cottage Garden, longtime gardener Pamela Hubbard expertly walks the gardener through what it takes to grow in the cottage garden style—where flowers and vegetables are intermingled in a casual display of colorful brilliance—while also meeting the needs of the modern world in an era of increased weather extremes.

Gardeners at any stage of their gardening journey will find invaluable insight on: Gardening for increased biodiversity and pollinators Creating a cottage meadow garden Designing a gravel garden for drought-prone areas Creating rain gardens for wet areas and fire-wise gardens for arid regions Gardening to reduce stress and promote healing Instilling a love for the environment in children by creating a children’s garden Creating a sensory garden  …and more!
