A cottage garden with a wonderful modern twist.
Pathways through billowing planting, lead to a secluded bench—a private, peaceful retreat brimming with flowers and grasses. At the heart of the garden, an Urbis water feature takes pride of place, softened by delicate grasses and flowering plants that provide interest throughout the seasons.
It may seem counterintuitive, but one of the most effective ways to make a small garden feel larger is to fill it with plants. This approach not only creates a lush, restful setting but also helps suppress weeds, resulting in a surprisingly low-maintenance space using well-behaved plants that require only light editing.
As my delighted client exclaims, “It is a lovely space… the planting has been done so you can really escape, and when you are sitting there on the bench, with so many butterflies and bees around, it feels like the planting is giving you a hug.”
