This is the front entry garden at my previous home, Valentine Cottage. When I bought the house, the front garden consisted only of tattered grass and a hedge of camellia at the foundation. My goal when re-landscaping this garden was to create an English-style cottage garden that would complement the house and provide a sense of enclosure, charm and a profuse summer display of blooms.

    Angela, I too have an english cottage garden and love the experience of looking at it and designing, digging etc. Your house is darling! I live in a suburban two story but it does have a couple things I love a small front porch and a big yard. Your site is the first I have been on under this topic and I love the pictures of before and after. Keep up the beautiful work and thank you for sharing it with me!
