Country Garden Decor

Spring is officially here and summer is hot on it’s tail!

It’s time, my friend, to turn your attention to the yard, and nothing is hotter on the garden scene than dressing that patch of lawn of yours up in country decor!

There’s just so much you can do in your garden to make it ‘country’ - even if you’re in the city! You could add or rearrange your perennial bed to include English Country or Country Cottage garden plants.

English Country Garden Decor

Flowers: Climbing roses, flowering wisteria, and lots of lavender (although the lavender leans heavily into French Country gardening). phlox, lupins and forget-me-nots are a few others. Fragrant peony bushes and rhododendrons are other popular favorites, and are now available in a multitude of colors and sizes.

Statues: Anything that looks antique such as cherubs, fountains or gargoyles.

Country Cottage Garden Decor

Flowers: Hollyhocks, daisies, black eyed susans and delphineums are adored in the country cottage garden. Sweet peas in every color imaginable, even blue! Any flowering vine like clematis, with smaller, top soil growing perennials such as ‘pinks’ and perhaps a summer planting of annual poppies. A small herb bed by the kitchen door is another staple - fresh basil, oregano, tarragon and sage should be at the doorstep of any country cottage!

Statues: Garden decor for the country cottage is generally whimsical. Rabbits, frogs, and bird statues. But country decor is also functional - bird baths and fountains are very popular, as are beautiful glass butterfly feeders.
