Great gardens start with healthy soil. Add compost, mulch, and organic matter to feed roots and encourage beneficial soil life.

Seasonal Advice & Planning
Seasonal Focus- Spring: prepare soil, start hardy perennials, mulch to conserve moisture.
- Early Summer: plant heat-tolerant herbs, divide perennials, water deeply at dawn.
- Late Summer: stake tall flowers, manage pests with beneficials, prune for shape.
- Autumn: enrich soil with compost, sow cover crops, protect tender roots.
Native Companions
Choose native flowering companions to reduce maintenance and support local pollinators and soil ecology.
Water Smart
Water deeply and less often. Aim for 1 inch per week and use rain barrels to capture runoff.
Mulching Rhythm
Apply a weed-suppressing mulch layer to retain moisture and moderate soil temperature.
Pruning for Form
Light pruning encourages air circulation and keeps the cottage garden tidy without stressing plants.
