Making of a front yard cottage garden. So important to take care of our physical and mental self, creating a cottage garden will help you to do so, Always include flowers that are very fragrant and these southern living jubilation gardenias are a must have in my cottage garden, they bloom in May in my zone 8 Cottage Garden. As you enter up the pathway you smell this beautiful flower. So make sure you plant them near a patio pathway or porch. You would be so glad you did!!
