Coastal Cottage, Devon

At Fitzhugh Garden Design, we transformed a compact garden in Dartmouth into a vibrant, contemporary landscape inspired by its coastal surroundings. By replacing oversized shrubs with a carefully curated palette, we introduced dynamic textures and colours that bring the garden to life year-round. Retaining key plants like Asplenium scolopendrium and reusing elements such as Festuca glauca ensured harmony and sustainability in the design.

The new planting scheme blends soft, flowing grasses like Stipa tenuissima with bold architectural accents from Phormium tenax and vibrant seasonal interest from Allium sphaerocephalon and Agapanthus ‘Northern Star’. We included the ribbed steel weathered containers to enhance the cottages aesthetic while ensuring durability and low maintenance.

This reimagined space feels open and inviting, offering year-round interest and a tranquil retreat for the homeowner. If you’re looking to transform your garden into a stunning, functional space, Fitzhugh Garden Design is here to bring your vision to life.
