Charming cottage style

Article Abstract:

Easy access to the front door, a grassy play area, and a fence are features incorporated while designing a small, front garden. The entrance path is designed to be as wide as the front door steps, making for easy access, boxwoods and smaller shrubs add structure to the grass terrace, while a picket fence ensures privacy and safety, thus defining it as a cottage garden.
