Quaint Cottage Garden
In this traditional garden we wanted to give the space a revamp while still ensuring it was in keeping with it’s classic, rural surroundings. You are welcomed into the garden through a charming pergola wrapped in vining plants. Square stepping stones create a winding path across the gently curving lawn, this is surrounded by elegant flower beds.
The sweeping flower beds mimic the shape of the rounded walls and the smooth lines draw your eyes around the garden. The raised sleeper bed is home to bountiful selection of greenery and adds both texture and rustic charm. As this area is sheltered it was planted with variety of ferns and heucheras which thrive in shaded areas.
In the large flower bed a stunning rose garden was planted with a selection of handpicked, hybrid tea roses. A bird bath and feeder not only creates a focal point, but also encourages wildlife into the garden.
The raised flower beds and steps lead down to a stone patio. This sits beneath a traditional veranda so the garden can be enjoyed in all weather. A picturesque chimenea allows the patio becomes and extension of the home as it can be enjoyed late into the summer evenings.
The garden is surrounded by a beautiful stone wall which adds privacy. Climbing ivy creates a charming backdrop for the blooming flowers to standout against. The result is a traditional, but quaint garden.
