Cot­tage Nurs­ery Garden

This yummy Orange County nurs­ery is burst­ing at the seams with old-​fashioned flow­ers and roman­tic heir­loom vari­eties. A smaller scale enter­prise, it is lov­ingly tended by sis­ters Jayme and Stacy Cox, and their mom Jane Cox. A brick foot­path winds through a tapes­try of blooms, vines, foun­tains, arbors and stat­u­ary. Beat­rix Pot­ter would have been right at home here. Think wis­te­ria, rare pop­pies, tons of antique roses. I noticed “bleed­ing hearts”, a plant that I remem­ber from my grandmother’s gar­den in Wis­con­sin. If you are look­ing for Eng­lish gar­den plants this nurs­ery is well worth a drive — it’s one stop shop­ping. A ship­ment of Annie’s Annu­als arrived April 1. Be sure to Mapquest or call for direc­tions — access can be tricky.
