The Country Cottage Landscape Design

The Country Cottage Landscape Design Gardens tell stories - and our begin at home. Gardens designed around your preferences, your story, and the feeling of home. Every garden has a story.

That's the philosophy I bring to your garden designs - flowers and plants that evoke memory, comfort and connection. Mine began with my Mom's daylilies and my Grandma's sweet peas - and today, those memories guide every design I create. I believe gardens should feel personal, comforting and meaningful, not just beautiful. That's the heart of The Country Cottage Landscape Design.

Yes I’ve started my own landscape design business
But I also want to be honest with everyone on the work it takes. Especially when life happens.
I’m embarrassed by the first picture. That was the state of my Moms garden. Between work done in the backyard last year, contractors digging and building, as well as trying to get some personal stuff settled, plus a move…well unfortunately the garden suffered.
Second picture is today. Weeds cut down. At least in this section. Next step - tilling. Then raking, adding compost and tilling again
If all goes according to plan the last picture is what I’m working towards.
Follow along to see the transformation!

I’m a little late this year doing my front planters but finally got them done today.
Like most of us I’m anxious for them to fill in, they always look sparse for the first couple of week.
