English cottage gardens date back centuries. They were used to grow vegetables, herbs for healing, fruit trees, perhaps a beehive, and common flowers. The informal style went through a renaissance in the late 1800’s when they became somewhat more nostalgic than practical.

Garden Answer on Instagram: "Ranunculus and anemones- the first year I ever grew them in larger quantities was in our raised bed garden. I loved the look and could hardly cut any because I thought they were just so beautiful right exactly where they were. They’re one of the easier flowers I’ve ever grown. They like the cool spring weather, they’re easy to store, easy to start, and the blooms have a long vase life! 🥰"
