Cottage garden

Okay kiddo, let me tell you about a cottage garden.

A cottage garden is a type of garden that looks like it belongs to a little cottage or house in the countryside. It's usually full of lots of different kinds of flowers, fruits and vegetables.

The flowers in a cottage garden are usually old-fashioned and have a kind of wild and relaxed look to them. They grow close together so that the garden looks really full and colorful.

People originally made cottage gardens because they needed to grow their own food and flowers, but they also wanted their gardens to look pretty. Nowadays, people make cottage gardens just because they love the way they look.

Another cool thing about cottage gardens is that they attract bees, butterflies, and other animals that help to pollinate the plants. So, it's not only good for making a garden pretty, but it's also good for the environment!

In conclusion, a cottage garden is a really pretty garden that has lots of different flowers, fruits, and vegetables growing together. It's a reminder of simpler times and is good for the environment.
