What We Do

We have no trouble filling space with romantic cottage gardens, magical meadows, prim potagers, and everything in the English cottage garden aesthetic!

From espaliers and raised bed design for renters to sprawling multi-acre garden plans, we design custom cottage gardens of every kind. Because why would you grow grass when you can grow flowers?

Need Garden Advice But Not Design?

Book a Garden Planning Hour for a one-on-one consult where we diagnose what isn't working—and how to fix it. This is a great budget-friendly alternative to full, custom garden design.

You’ll leave with clear planting advice, curated plant recommendations for your zone and soil, and a confident plan to edit your garden so it’s beautiful, cohesive, and happy! It's your hour, so we can tackle whatever you need.

"Caroline has been instrumental in bringing my vision of "cottage garden" to life! Her creativity and eye for creating spaces with purposeful visual tension that looks totally unintentional is remarkable and sets her apart from run-of-the-mill "designers." On top of that, her professionalism, flexibility, and commitment to her clients makes every interaction delightful!"

The art of controlled chaos—it's what we do!

Curb appeal is one thing. A cottage garden is another. Walls covered in roses, hollyhocks swaying in the breeze. These gardens are timeless, classic, and only get better each season.
