Rural Cottage Garden

Village near Romsey, Hampshire

My clients are really interested in their garden, they love wild life, encouraging birds and they make a positive contribution to recycling by composting and keeping a wormery.

They wanted to create a cottage garden with flowers they could pick to take inside.

We Developed the Garden

A gravel and brick path, flanked by flower beds, leads towards a circular brick patio.

Six eustace vye flowers fill the frame. Their bright bink tone transitions to a more orange coloured hue towards their centres.

We designed a circular lawn and patio with a lavender path to give the garden a sense of order and structure.

Our client chose the materials and used their own landscaper to construct the garden.

We chose repeat flowering shrub roses such as Rosa Eustace Vye that is reliable and has a good scent as the feature plant in the main bed and then under planted with penstemons, gaura and lavender.

We planted a dwarf apple tree called James Grieve that will give dessert apples in late summer. It'll grow to just 8-10' so perfect for a modest size garden and fits the scale of this cottage garden perfectly well.
