Colorful Cozy English Cottage Garden

The typical English Cottage garden is a colorful, joyous place. This example has plenty of fragrant flowers and lush greenery with a water fountain and a terraced slope landscaping attractive to butterflies and humming birds. The home is a natural for easy entertaining, offering plentiful patio space, cozy furnishings, outdoor kitchen and fireplace.

Large patio space for outdoor dining takes advantage of the mild San Diego climate for year-round entertaining. The homeowner’s interior color scheme extends out to the backyard connecting indoors and out.

A meandering pathway leads to the heart of the hillside garden, with two circular planters as a focal point and the perfect spot to enjoy the full ocean view.

Plants used on hillside include jacaranda, western redbud, manzanita, ceanothus, California fuchsia, rockrose, agave, and lantana.

Lower part of garden incorporates roses, gaura, little john, kangaroo paw, yarrow, lion tail, rosemary, coreopsis, lavender, jasmine, and thyme.
