About This Design
Country Cottage
This cottage garden design proves that landscaping makes the architecture. We designed a covered porch deep enough for seating and dining, then framed it with lavender, grasses, and naturalized plantings that bloom in succession. The white cottage recedes into the greenery rather than dominating it, creating that collected-over-time feeling that makes cottages so appealing. The approach is deliberately informal and abundant.
Design Tip
Plant in layers and drifts, not rows. Mass the same plant in groups of five or seven, layer heights from ground covers to shrubs to trees, and choose varieties that bloom at different times for year-round interest.

Spatial Approach
The single-story gabled structure tucks under mature trees, with a deep covered porch wrapping from the front door toward a carport extension on the right. French doors with glass panes serve as the main entry, and the dark roof contrasts against white board-and-batten siding. Lavender, ornamental grasses, and perennial beds surround the foundation, blending the house into the garden rather than sitting on top of it.
Best For
Designed for a retiree or downsizing couple who want single-level living with strong indoor-outdoor connection and low-water landscaping.
