I love your garden! It’s lovely! You might over time bump your borders out from the fence to give it more cottage-y feel. A staggered line of bushes is going to give you a much more dense/lush/exuberant feeling in the garden vs a linear planting. Plus, like you’ve already seen with your Gaura-Perrenials want some depth to the bed when they’re happy. They’ll fill it out! And it’s these staggered layers and happy full-size plants that really give off that cottage vibe.

The plan is to def bump out the garden beds, but for now the kiddos love the grass. In time as they slowly stop using it, I plant to add a modern koi pond close to the house and bump those beds out 3-4 ft. The plans are bursting already and the beds should have no soil by May. Very excited! Thanks for your tips and ideas :0)

I was born and raised, and live, in San Diego. Not just the county but basically downtown! Or uptown, I suppose…so moving to a little cottage style house in 2012 was an no-brained for me, when I first saw the property, and its front yard, porch, side yard, and curb appeal! I wanted to create a "California cottage garden". And I did! Lol. And obviously a lot of people garden here; I don’t think our location is a hindrance at all to designing a garden. In fact, we have an expanded palette of plants to choose from, compared to traditional British cottage gardens, and much of the northern hemisphere! 🤣 Minus a few more temperate, cooler-climate species, and for those we have just as many suitable replacements. For example, even though we can totally grow _Verbena bonariensis_ in SoCal, an even hardier, evergreen alternative is the orchid genus _Epidendrum_ which flowers in a similar way, and a lot longer. Plus it’s an orchid that can handle sun and grow terrestrially, in well-draining soil. Or instead of certain grasses or leafy species, like _Phormium_ (New Zealand flax), the _Cymbidium_ orchids are a perfect evergreen substitute. And that’s not even counting all the cacti, succulents, tropicals, bromeliads, aroids, etc.!

I'm SO happy to have found your channel! I enjoy gardening but so many channels are about gardens in the Midwest or Eastern US. I live in Zone 9 also in California. Although my yard isn't as large as yours, I've wanted a cottage style garden as well. You've given me inspiration & guidance. Can't wait to see how my garden (and yours) takes shape over the next year. Many thanks♡
@intheglenn Жыл бұрын
Deb, thank you.....your kind words are very very appreciated. ❤The garden has a long way to go, but I am very hopeful for next year. YES! When I was looking for inspiration and studying cottage gardens, I noticed most of them were located in zones 4-6. It's easy to tell because their hydrangeas are in full sun and often plants like coral bells and hostas are listed as sun perennials....they would get roasted in full sun here 😆
@calideb4437 Жыл бұрын
@@intheglenn That's so true! Thanks for your reply. I'd like to try one of the hydrangeas you mentioned - knowing how thirsty they get may change my mind. After all the rain, half of the backyard was nothing but 3ft weeds bc the small lawn failed when it was so dry. Am now looking at a lawn alternative. Am rambling a bit, so I'll end for now. Thanks again :)

Beautiful gardens! I think if you're planting things that have blooms with interesting shapes or very geometric shapes or plants with growth habits in interesting or bold shapes, the cottage theme will absolutely work with modern architecture! I was thinking, "oooh, he should put guara in his garden and then you showed those! 😄 I've had Whirling Butterflies, which is supposed to get 3-4' and would get 4-5' for me here in south central Texas. 😄 I think when you live in a mild climate, plant sizes are more of a suggestion than a rule. 🤣 Those Incrediball hydrangeas are outstanding!! Amazing! Spectacular! You have a really good eye for garden layout and plant selection! Glad I happened across your video, I will definitely check out some of the varieties you mentioned. Very interested in those gardenias as a "boxwood" substitute!
