Do you associate certain plants with your childhood, perhaps cottage garden plants that you witnessed at your grandparents' or great grandparents' house? There's a reason we still grow these plants: They offer benefits that repay us handsomely for keeping them around.
In some cases, cottage garden plants are striking, long-lived flowers that require minimal upkeep (e.g., peonies). In others, they're plants that figure into our cuisine, such as sage.

It should come as no surprise that specimens so beautiful and so beneficial were already long-time cottage garden plants before our grandparents were even born! Read my article to find out how to start your own cottage garden.
