Southern Cottage Garden

Every bit of this urban yard is part of the garden design, whether its the front yard with a definite ‘wow’ factor, the planted strip along the driveway, or the secluded sanctuary at the rear property line. In this garden, the right plants are in the right places. There’s a rhythm and flow between the spaces, and each part leads you on to the next pretty spot.
