"Who hasn\u2019t dreamed of coming home to a cottage garden? Densely planted with everything from flowers to fruit, they exude grace and charm. When Betsy Fleenor and husband Michael purchased their Birmingham Tudor-style home, the front yard was very different from what you see today. The carpet of grass and boring shrubs didn\u2019t enhance the house. Betsy envisioned a cottage-style garden, but it took 15 years for the garden of her dreams to become a reality. Out came the lawn, and in went the up-front flowers woven into a tapestry of shrubs, roses, natives, herbs, and vines. \u201CNow our Tudor-style house feels like a home, and it has the cottage-style garden it deserves,\u201D says Betsy.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
