as a novice gardener last year I planted what I fancied (mainly what looked pretty in the garden centre at the time).
this year my garden looks a chaotic mess (in parts!) and over the winter had no evergreen substance.
I think a pretty cottage informally planted garden takes a lot of careful consideration, especially one that looks good through all seasons.
so my answer is you can have a perfectly deigned and planned garden that's designed and planned to look packed full of wonderful flowers and interesting evergreen shrubs for year round interest
I have a large patio covered in pots, tubs, baskets anything I can get a plant in.
The borders are brimming with perennials, with a few annuals to fill the gaps, I have no class at all, its like an explosion in a paint factory later in the year. Truth is, 'I know my place' and I will look up to him

I have hanging baskets to add colour under next door's laylandi - and I don't care what the daily mail thinks
Haven't read the article - don't intend to - but I've heard that bloke Hanson spouting forth several times. He's a ****
And who wants to 'move up' any social class if they're full of idiots like that anyway
Plant what you want and what you like.
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
