The English country garden style, also known as the Cottage Garden style, is a traditional British garden design that emphasizes informality, natural beauty, and a blend of different elements. It often includes meandering paths, a variety of plants, and sometimes architectural elements like arbors and gazebos. This style aims to create a harmonious and picturesque setting, reminiscent of the picturesque landscapes of rural England. Key features include herbaceous borders, a mix of perennials, shrubs, and trees, and the use of water features like ponds and streams.
