Coastal Cottage Garden

Coastal Cottage Garden
This sunny terraced garden was remodelled along with extensive renovations to the Georgian cottage. The original stone walls were dismantled and the stone reused to create a series of retaining walls and enlarged terraces. The garden is divided into two main areas - the lawn surrounded with colourful plant borders and a second area of composite decking with built-in seating; ideal for alfresco dining with views overlooking the village harbour.
Sun loving, drought tolerant plants - Salvias, Euphorbias, Polygala, Agapanthus, Lavenders and herbs thrive in the hot sunny aspect. Fragrant climbing plants smother the painted trellis on the garden boundaries.
“Having worked with Jo before we didn’t hesitate to ask her to design another garden for us. The garden space required a radical re-think and re-build. Jo’s design was brilliant; changing levels, opening up pathways and somehow giving us more space than seemed possible. Another miracle!
With her easy collaborative style, outstanding project management, beautiful planting (Jo has the elusive painterly eye), she has made the perfect garden for us which we enjoy every day.”
