Thousands sold and reviews are gold!

"I recently purchased multiple cottage garden plans from Figment Cottage Garden, and I couldn't be more thrilled with them! The variety of flowers in the plans combine a beautiful mix of colors, textures, and heights that flow together. The flower combinations are thoughtfully curated, making it incredibly simple to create my own cottage garden.


What really sets these plans apart is the multi-seasonal interest—there's something happening in the garden from early spring right through to Fall, and if evergreens are included in the plans, it extends it straight through winter.

The garden plans are sophisticated but approachable—perfect for someone like me who wanted to DIY but still get a designer curated look."

"Caroline has the best garden plans! I’m currently using her PartSun/FullSun Cottage Garden plan to revamp my current random collection of plantings. She gives such great detail with detailed pictures and answers any questions I have. An economical way to get started with new gardens. Highly recommend!"

Tracy R.

"I ordered several of the garden plans, more as a guide line than to follow specifically because of our existing bed layouts. They have been so helpful in finally getting some gardens laid out that are working with our soil and light. I've been learning so much about where and when to plant, as well as splitting plants, when to cut back, what to leave over winter. I am so happy I found Figment Cottage Gardens!"
