This once formal garden has been turned into a cottage garden by tucking flowers between the sculpted shrubs...

Now that the weather is getting nicer (ish) my thoughts have turned to the garden. Our garden is one of the main reason I bought our house, it's huge! You come out of our back door and you overlook our garden path with flowerbeds down either side, at the bottom of the path is a gate which leads to our back garden. The house was empty for some time before we bought it, and the garden had been slightly neglected. Plants had died, weeds have taken over and what once was a paved area, the grass has overgrown. 
When we first moved in the garden took a back seat as we decided to get our priorities right and sort out the inside first. However now Summer is upon us I can't help but think of my dream garden. I have plans for Summer parties and BBQ's with family & friends, laughing over a pitcher of Pimms and tucking into delicious homemade burgers...a girl can dream right?

I don't want a modern garden with sophisticated looking furniture, we live in a terraced cottage and I am determined to stick to the cottage theme. I want wild flowers, rustic furniture and fairy lights. I've never really taken an interest in gardening until I owned my own house, now i get a thrill out of visiting garden centres. Oh the life of a 22 year old.

Are you a garden lover? Where you do you find your inspiration?
