Are you looking for some inspiration when it comes to springtime gardening? Here are 6 spring cottage-style tours from my Pacific Northwest garden over the years.

As I was starting to take pictures for April’s garden tour, I thought it would be fun to show you some of the other cottage-style garden tours I’ve shared over the last few springs.

I hope you will enjoy my spring gardens! Here we go…

6 Sensational Spring Cottage-Style Garden Tours

1. Inspired by Blooms – June PNW Cottage Garden Tour

This spring garden tour was shared last year with pictures taken the last week of May. I had just bought a cart full of foxgloves and had never grown them in my garden before.

I can’t believe what a huge difference they made in the garden. It’s mostly green with few blooms this time of year so I was so excited to transform my outdoor spaces literally overnight.

2. Coastal Cottage Garden and Outdoor Spring Spaces Tour

Last May was all about container planting, transplanting seedlings into the raised beds, and enjoying a few blooms like tulips and azaleas.

Like I said earlier, this is the month that feels like there’s a big transition happening when most plants are green but haven’t started blooming yet.

3. Mother’s Day Inspiration in the Cottage Garden

Here’s a look at the spring cottage garden tour and greenhouse on Mother’s Day last year.

4. Early Spring Gardening in the Pacific Northwest for the Month of April

The first week of April 2021showed the daffodils were still blooming and the greenhouse was still full of seedlings and overwintering geraniums.

We were close to the average last frost date of April 18th and looking forward to hardening off the plants for a couple of weeks before transplanting them to the garden beds.

5. See What’s Blooming in My June Cottage Garden

Garden therapy was a real thing in mid-June 2020 with the pandemic in full force. Peonies and cut flower garden seedlings were the big stars on this spring garden tour.

The pink Montana Ruben pink clematis filled the arbor in June 2020. Lilacs and wisteria were in full bloom.
