The cottage garden
is a distinct style of garden that uses an informal design, traditional
materials, dense plantings, and a mixture of ornamental and edible plants. Others
were the old-fashioned roses that bloomed once a year with rich scents, simple
flowers like daisies, and flowering herbs. Over time, even large estate gardens
had sections they called "cottage gardens". Source
Heilbronn is
a city in northern Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany. It is surrounded by Heilbronn
County and, with approximately 123,000 residents, it is the sixth-largest city
in the state. After the demise of the Staufen dynasty, King Rudolf I returned
city status to Heilbronn in 1281 and installed a regal advocate to rule the
city. In addition to the advocate he put a council in place that was headed up
by a mayor. Source
Raised-bed gardening is a form of gardening in which the soil is formed in 3 to 4 foot wide beds, which can be of any length or shape. The soil is raised above the surrounding soil, is sometimes enclosed by a frame generally made of wood, rock, or concrete blocks, and may be enriched with compost. The vegetable plants are spaced in geometric patterns, much closer together than conventional row gardening. The spacing is such that when the vegetables are fully grown, their leaves just barely touch each other, creating a microclimate in which weed growth is suppressed and moisture is conserved. Raised beds produce a variety of benefits: they extend the planting season, they can reduce weeds if designed and planted properly and reduce the need to use poor native soil. Source
