A Cottage Garden in Pots

Creating a cottage garden with fruit, flowers and vegetables in containers

Nothing heralds spring better than flowers, with many of the brightest thriving in pots for weeks on end

During January, February and March, celebrate nature’s blues with baby bulbs, plucky perennials and showy shrubs

Even the darkest winter day cannot fail to be lightened by the sight of golden flowers on trees or fences, in pots and beds

Bringing welcome colour from winter into early spring, many flowering plants are easy and rewarding to grow in pots
