COTTAGE GARDEN DESIGN TIPS

How you lay out your cottage garden is entirely up to you. But these tips will help you make it cohesive.

Curve your paths

So , curving paths add to the relaxed feeling and invite you to explore further. Use hard surfacing such as pavers, old bricks or stone, or so paving such as wood chips and gravel. Or, you could lay turf.

Mix and match

Don’t worry if colours clash – anything goes in a co age garden.

Vary heights

Add tall plants for visual interest – and not necessarily at the back of a border – so your eyes move up and around. You take in a lot more this way.

Add fun elements

If you find garden art that is quirky or delightful, put it in. It adds character.
