Plant a mix of perennials and annuals, as well as shrubs and trees. Don’t forget to include some creative features such as a bench, trellis, or birdbath, to complete the look. With a little creativity and planning, you can have a beautiful cottage garden that’s sure to delight.

SOFT COLOURS

Creating a cottage garden design can be a great way to inject personality and style into your outdoor space. Incorporating colour into the design is an essential part of creating the perfect atmosphere. Use moody shades of blues and greens to provide a calm atmosphere, while black painted timber and brass accents will bring a more modern edge. To complete the look, terracotta pots, statues, and furniture will be complemented by the bright flowers and lush green foliage throughout the garden. With a few simple touches, you can bring your cottage garden to life.

WEATHERED MATERIALS

The use of weathered materials can create a unique and rustic cottage garden. From barn wood fences to vintage garden tools, weathered materials add character and charm to any outdoor space. Adding a selection of aged stone, rustic terracotta pots, and distressed furniture are perfect for creating a cottage garden that is both inviting and timeless. Weathered materials also help to create an atmosphere of warmth and nostalgia, allowing you to transform your garden into a beautiful and tranquil retreat.
