Creating a Cottage Garden in a Typical Front Yard | Shade Corner Update

A year ago, my basic semi-detached front garden looked just like any other, plain, patchy, and overlooked. But with a little vision and a lot of plants, I’ve transformed it into a blooming cottage garden full of charm and character. 🌿 In this video, I’m sharing the full transformation: • Before footage of my standard estate front garden • How the space looks now, one year later • An update on my shade corner, planted last September This is proof that you can create a magical cottage garden vibe, even in a small front yard on a typical housing estate. Whether you're short on space, light, or budget, I hope this inspires you to bring a little beauty to your doorstep.
