This cottagecore blog:

Supports POC and the organizations that protect and uplift them ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽

Supports Palestine through Gaza's genocide

Supports locally sourced food and better, more sustainable farming practices

Supports indigenous land rights and supports paying reparations to BIPOC

Supports labor unions

Supports better conditions, pay, and protections for all agricultural workers including undocumented workers

Believes in every individual's right to complete body autonomy, including the right to abortions, gender transition, intersex rights, etc.

Supports and uplifts the LGBTQ+ community, including those who are non-binary, use neopronouns, are xenogender, gender non-conforming, etc.

Is NOT into this for some “manifest destiny” bullshit

Is NOT an ecofascist

Does NOT tolerate TERFs, truscum, tradwives, etc.

Does NOT push the idea that metaphysical healing and natural remedies can be used in place of proper medicine and healthcare

Does NOT tolerate racism, antisemitism, ableism, fascism, islamophobia, xenophobia, misogyny, the alt-right, lgbtq-phobia of any kind, pedophilia & incest, or supporters/apologists of them.

The cottagecore community is rife with a lot of garbage people and garbage ideology, and that will not be tolerated here. I aim to make this blog as much of a safe space as possible and I intend to uphold that. If I ever post/reblog anything problematic or offensive in any way, please message me or send an ask and I will remove it/tag it.

Pretty sure I've mentioned it in the past years, but cottagecore had this angle with white people where part of the fantasy was them wanting to escape capitalism, homophobia, etc, by "running away" into the woods and becoming self sufficient there. So this was just a way of them plugging their ears to their privilege in white supremacy, colonialism, imperialism, etc and doing it on Native Land. And even if it wasn't there specifically, and they did this in Europe, it's still the same thing. It's still running away from the issues of the world and instead of doing your part to try make it better, it's you running away from it and pretending it doesn't exist.

miniature pond (if possible)

birdbaths, bird houses, large pots

lighting like lanterns, garden lights, solar powered lighting

Plant pollinator-friendly species

Install a bee hotel

Install drip irrigation for efficiency

Use raised beds for better drainage and fewer weeds

Collect rainwater in barrels

Reuse pots, containers, and old materials

Compost everything possible.

Daily pest removal / checking

Plant trees and herbs good for pollinators

Add new plants or seeds as gaps appear

Review plant layout and note what’s thriving or struggling

Deep clean greenhouse or shed

Inspect fences, trellises, and raised beds for repair.

Start all early seedlings indoors or in a shed, so they do not get picked off too easily.

Harvest vegetables regularly

Add shade cloth if necessary

Use row covers to protect against insects and frost

Add garden “rooms” or zones for different experiences

Introduce vertical elements--- trellises, arches, hanging baskets, or vines

Add a focal point

Set up compost and recycling zones neatly for visual harmony

Invite friends or kids to help, which makes gardening social and fun

Add chickens or ducks (if allowed) for pest control and compost input.

Bonus:
