Garden Installation Process:
I had so much fun designing this unique project! My clients recently added a white shed to their farmhouse property, and the garden space was prepped while the landscaping was being done. Then, it was my turn!
We added a kitchen garden between the building structures, complete with a personal touch from the homeowners that transformed this from a simple garden into a full-blown oasis: a cozy fire pit area with lounge chairs right in the middle of the raised beds.
The garden really ties the property together, creating a cohesive outdoor living space between the house and the new shed.
This property already had a beautifully established style, so my goal when designing the garden was to complement the existing aesthetic.
One of my favorite details is the pair of signature arches that frame the entrance and exit of the garden. We chose square tubing to bring in a modern farmhouse vibe.
The raised beds closest to the entrance are filled with flowers like climbing hydrangeas and vining veggies like cherry tomatoes, which will eventually weave their way over the custom arches. Stepping into this garden means being completely surrounded by lush plants—sounds like heaven!
The natural cedar beds accent the white farmhouse and shed without feeling too matchy. The natural finish stays true to the farmhouse feel, while the white Adirondack chairs tie everything together.
My clients own an interior design boutique (which explains their incredible style), and the cute pillows on the chairs are from their shop. Let me tell you—when the string lights are glowing at night, this space is pure magic!
Modern Farmhouse Kitchen Garden Highlights:
“We are beyond thrilled with our new garden. From the very beginning stages of design all the way through the installation, working with Katie and her husband Matt was perfection!” – Kathie
Personally, I love when style and function can come together in one garden design. This garden has so much growing space, the harvests are going to be impactful. And visually this garden is just stunning. We all could do with spending a little more time outdoors, and it’s easy with a garden space as inviting as this.
