This ode to the cottage style border showcases how to bring family, friendships, lost ones and important elements of life into the garden, however far away the real thing might be. A beautiful connection to the things that matter most. A sweet pea grown by your Great, Great Grandfather; the seeds passed down through generations; a rose named after your late Auntie; a herb garden for your children to create perfumes and potions as you once did. Keeping you connected to those special moments in life. Close by, when you may just need them most.
