Cottage garden ideas

The plants in your cottage garden have a tendency to produce abundant blooms and diverse colors. This style softens the look of your garden and offers soothing leaf textures and good scents.

1. Removing the grass

If you are thinking of creating a garden for your cottage you should take advantage of every possible space and every inch should be planted with trees, flowers and aromatic plants. You should think about allowing some paths to move both for the care of your cottage garden but also for daily movement.

2.Focus on colour and lighting.

The ideal color and lighting combination adds value to your garden. Although the choice of colors is somewhat subjective and according to the preferences of the cottage owners, we think that the combination of red, orange, purple and white gives a pleasant look to your garden or your driveways in London.

3.Keep things low maintenance if time is limited.

Densely planting your flowers in your garden also requires a commitment to their maintenance, and to avoid this situation if your time is limited and you haven’t hired a gardener for your garden, we suggest a few things. You should choose perennial plants, they require less replanting and optimize your time in the garden. Applying a layer of mulch is very important because it suppresses weeds and this reduces the need for maintenance. We suggest you group plants with similar needs, avoiding possible damage and shortening the care process in particular. Some of the mistakes that property owners in London make is choosing plants that are not suited to the climate that prevails in our city. This creates increased attention to your garden. Mowing is a process that requires proper attention and if you do not have the opportunity to mow your lawn you should minimize it. It seems absurd but you should attract some beneficial birds sometimes to avoid damage that comes from natural phenomena and of course avoiding pesticides.

4.Make sure the garden looks green all year round.

You should aim to create a garden for your cottage that looks green all year round. You can choose between roses, shrubs or other fragrant plants such as the Englishman’s favourite David Austin Roses.

5.Align with tradition

There is space here for you too if you are traditional, creating a garden for your cottage to look stunning and pleasant. You can create a low fence or stone wall to provide structure for the plant and protection from rodents or birds. The function of the fence will never fade, but a stone fence is beautiful and very supportive for the plants. Fruit trees have historically been used in cottage gardens in London and it is a great way to use them. The practicality they offer is amazing and will save you a lot of time when looking after your garden. Also to close, abundant and messy plants give a special look, but you should keep in mind that maintenance for these plants requires extra care.
