[QUOTE="Michie, post: 77642093, member: 628"] If you like cottage gardens but aren't thrilled with the upkeep, this gardening style may be for you. [IMG alt="Wildflowers in and English cottage garden with a grass path, in the soft summer sunshine"]https://www.realsimple.com/thmb/8ky3xefHZtn8JXuH1fR2bQSoZLw=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/chaos-gardening-GettyImages-1167721095-7988b9985b63416898987c73c6265fa4.jpg[/IMG] PHOTO: JACKY PARKER/GETTY IMAGES ‘Chaos gardening’—an uncurated practice of throwing a bunch of seeds down in soil—has gone viral in recent years for its practicality and accessibility.

We spoke with a meadow designer to see how easy this process actually is, whether the final look is as Instagram-worthy as you’d expect, and how to create a chaos garden that works in any space. [HEADING=1]What Is Chaos Gardening? [/HEADING] Chaos gardening is a gardening technique that involves tossing seeds and seeing what happens. “Chaos gardening is all about breaking the rules of traditional gardening. It’s about letting plants grow however they want, without symmetry or strict order,” says meadow designer Kori Kasper. As such, a chaos garden embraces a plant’s natural life cycle by facilitating a process that mimics nature. Think of how the wind carries seeds and how many plants self-seed after their growth cycle. Rather than sowing precisely, you scatter. And rather than cutting back the plants after they grow, you let them self-seed (or collect the seeds to throw into the wind later). In many cases, different plant varieties share space rather than having clearly defined spaces. Continued below. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.realsimple.com/chaos-gardening-8628839[/URL] [/QUOTE]
