If you want to start your own cottage garden, all you need is a plan and the determination to follow it. Consider what elements are used in a cottage backyard and how you might incorporate them. Paths made of interlocking pavers and dividers made of vinyl fence should all be designed to appear as though they’re as old as the cottage. Otherwise, it will stand out from the cottage, and your garden will lack that romantic vibe. Cottage gardens must have a country feel to them.
Many people have cottages that were built recently but have been made to seem rustic and older. So, if you’re building a new cottage backyard, make sure the materials you use suit your cottage and blend in with the surroundings. Use native stones, cobbles, pink brick, gravel, paving slabs, gravel, and other items to create walkways in your cottage garden.
