PAPER

Episode 16 – Graph Paper Isn’t Just for D&amp;D: Cottage Garden Design with Ashley Beisley Ashley Beisley formerly of Beisley Bottoms join us for our newest episode of drunk botany, whom I know through Lauren Heidingsfelder. We all originally met in a parenting group, and refer to one another as turtles.

Today’s affiliate link is Van Der Hagen, whose razor can be found at drunkbotany.com/razor and drunkbotany.com/blades. They are elegant and fantastic. There is some white noise in the first few minutes that I couldn’t eliminate, but it goes away. After totally butchering the pronunciation of her name, Ashley and I pop open a bottle of Apothic Red with an Italian rosewood waiter’s corkscrew. Ashley defines cottage gardens, evocative of Belle’s garden from Beauty and the Beast. I originally learned about this style of gardening on a local tour with the Back Mountain Bloomers. Once you’ve decided whether or not you would like to grow a floral garden, an edible garden, or a mixture of the two, you can start to consult the following resources. In the absence of a South facing yard, you can opt to build your cottage garden according to shade garden principles. Ashley likes to use repeated geometric shapes like hexagons and triangles, which can be plotted out on hexagonal paper, graph paper, or equilateral graph paper. Square foot gardening is an excellent resource for figuring out plant spacing as it pertains to Cottage gardening. Ashley recommends intensive gardening, and Mini Farming as great resources for cottage gardens. When planting her garden, Ashley likes to use toothpicks to mark the locations of individual seeds and forms of hexagons and triangles to space out the seeds. Hers is a DIY method of this square foot gardening product. You should ideally choose plants that are suited to your region, so that they attract pollinators like bees. You can realize great savings and breed regionally adapted plants by saving seeds. Ashley’s general references include: The spruce The almanac — either in print or online Your local land grant college agricultural extension, be that Penn State, Rutgers University Cook College Agricultural Extension, or Oregon State We have a Master Gardeners program where I live.¸ The post Episode 16 – Graph Paper Isn’t Just For D&amp;D: Cottage Garden Design with Ashley Beisley appeared first on Drunk Botany.
