My Garden is mainly cottage with native plants mixed in. I guess you could say that there is not a style that my garden falls under. I also like unique and rare plants as well. I bought this house a couple years ago. It was a blank slate for the most part. There was a few plants here and there. I will still be adding more plants in the front yard. My next project will be the back yard. You can see the design in my garden plan. I guess you never are done with a garden. I always see them as involving. I will always add a plant here and there once I am done with my back yard.
