Have any of you created a country/cottage garden?
How long did it take for the garden to bloom? How much work was it? How much did it cost per sq m?
We want to create a country garden facing West and a rock garden on a steep slope on the South side.
At the moment we spend summer fighting the brambles and cutting the grass that grows tall overnight. I guess the rocky soil is very fertile, so want to put it to better use. And want some kind of silvery/colourful groundcover that smothers the brambles and is low maintenance.
Have no idea how to start...any tips? Thanks!
