The term ‘cottage garden’ probably brings to mind a cosy garden set in the countryside, beside a traditional cottage, but you can get this style in most gardens, and it’s all about choosing the right plants, trees and shrubs.
Old fashioned flowers offer an old fashioned style, and lavender lining with delphiniums and tulips will add to rich green forest-like borders. Stone or gravel pathways can also give off that traditional feel, while rustic accessories such as wheelbarrows and watering cans will always add to the look.
A cottage garden can be created easily, just by wisely picking your flowers, shrubs and furniture, while a white picket fence or a stone wall will also add to the period style. If you want a garden that’s unique, and beautifully British, then plan out your very own cottage garden.
