THE VISION - Begin by envisioning your garden dream space. Imagine a lush, romantic haven full of vibrant flowers, aromatic herbs, and winding paths.
SELECTING THE RIGHT PLANTS - Carefully choose a mix of perennials, annuals, and biennials for year-round beauty I your cottage garden.
Consider cottage garden favorites such as roses, lavender, foxglove, peonies, and delphinium to grow. Create a mix of colors, heights, and textures.
WHIMSICAL PATHWAYS - In a cottage garden, pathways add incredible charm. Lay stepping stones, use gravel, or create a trail of brick pavers for a path to wind through your garden.
CREATE COZY NOOKS - Add a cozy seating area with a rustic bench, or a table and chairs made of iron. Provide a serene sanctuary to relax and reflect.
NURTURING YOUR GARDEN - Regularly water, weed, and fertilize your plants. Prune and deadhead to promote healthy plant growth.
ARTISTIC TOUCHES - Add a weathered trellis with climbing vines, install bird feeders and houses, or hang whimsical wind chimes.
SHARING YOUR MAGICAL GARDEN - Host garden tea parties, picnics, or gatherings in your charming garden. Share and inspire.
