3 . The pandemic-caused lockdown(封锁) threw up many trends, but one that shows no sign of dwindling(减少) is “cottagecore”.

So, what is cottagecore all about? Cottagecore is a social media trend seen as a romanticized explanation of countryside living, where cottage-dwellers can make homemade jam and live off the land.

Naomi Stuart, who documents her countryside dream on her cottagecore Instagram page, says, “Since lockdown, the trend has become far more popular with people who look for rural properties when they work from home. Gorgeous images on social media of living in the countryside have sold the dream that life out in the sticks is less stressful. And it is. I share my cottage life as I hope it will give people a little insight into what living in a small village surrounded by the countryside is like. Peace and quiet, the sounds of nature, no road noise, cows and sheep in the nearby fields, horse riders and dog walkers going by. For me, it is the perfect de-stress cure for everyday stresses and strains that we all have.”

With COVID-19 grounding most of the world, “home” has taken on a new meaning. And as we make sense of our new normal, the focus is being placed firmly on living a simple and slower life.

Cottagecore is a concept that anyone can embrace. Look at decorating your home in a traditional, old-fashioned style and take up skills such as drying flowers, spending time growing vegetables and enjoying time in the evening by candlelight with loved ones. The interpretation of cottagecore spans a variety of ideas, from slow fashion to home decor(装饰), home cooked meals, and gardening.

4 . I am lucky enough to live in a house that has a walled garden. In fact, this was one of the main features which encouraged us to buy this house.    1    . Apple, plum, and cherry trees are growing well here. Since we moved in, we have been turning this area into a richer forest garden.

    2    . Walled gardens can be created from the very beginning using recyclable materials. They can also be created in old industrial or agricultural sites, where the roofs of structures are no longer in good repair. In fact, our walled garden was made from an old cattle shelter.

I live in an area where temperatures can fall as low as around -5℃.    3    The stone walls help in temperature regulation(控制). Plants benefit from the protected microclimate in the garden all year round.   I find I can successfully grow several plants that would not usually grow well outdoors.

Stone walls can provide a quieter space than other gardens surrounded by fences. We live in the countryside but are near a busy road. Enter this garden, however, and we might be in a different world protected from traffic noise and other outside distractions(使人分心的事).     4    .

Finally, it is also worthwhile considering that when a garden is surrounded by walls, it provides a range of choices for vertical(垂直的) growing.     5     Fruit trees can be trained to grow up the walls to make the most of the space. There are plants to choose from for each wall of a walled garden, each of which offers different conditions.

A．People are likely to live in a warmer place

B．This wall can turn the garden into a quiet heaven

C．Such kind of places can make excellent wall gardens

D．Climbers and small plants can find their places along the edges

E．The stone walls of this garden protected a collection of fruit trees

F．There may be arguments about where to create walled gardens

G．However, the garden warms more quickly in spring and cools more slowly in autumn
