This courtyard garden tucked in-between the little farmhouse and the shed appears as if it was  always meant to be there. With personal touches from the homeowners that turned this from a garden to a full-blown oasis: a cozy fire pit area with lounge chairs right in the middle of the raised beds. The garden really connects the property by providing a cohesive outdoor living space between the house and the new shed. 

This property already had a beautiful established style, so all I had to do when designing the garden was stay in line with the existing aesthetic. One of my favorite details is the pair of signature arches that bookend the entrance and exit to the garden. We went with a square tubing to pull in the modern farmhouse vibe. The raised beds closest to the entrance are filled with flowers like climbing hydrangeas and climbing veggies like cherry tomatoes which will make their way over the custom arches. When you enter this garden, you’ll be completely surrounded by plants – sounds like heaven!

The natural cedar beds accent the white farmhouse and shed, without getting too matchy. The natural finish stays inline with the farmhouse feel, and we pulled in the white with the Adirondack chairs. These clients are the owners of an interior design boutique (hence the great style), and the cute pillows on the chairs are from their shop, Fontana Home. Let me tell you, at night when the strings of lights are lit, this is such a magical, cozy space.
