It allows intermixing of natives and edible. I think it is important to keep a sense of structure, repeated patterns and colors to make the garden a cohesive whole. I particularly like looking at planting done by Piet Oudolf, a European with a love for American native plants. He is a plantsman first, a designer second. He has a couple books out there. Also there is a book titled "Heirloom Plants" I recommend. I think the cottage garden style is definitely a useful one. It allows intermixing of natives and edible.
