Why I Ripped Out Half My Cottage Garden

There comes a point in every cottage garden when the blooms begin to fade, weeds quietly take over, and what once looked charming starts holding the garden back. In this video, I'm sharing why I made the difficult decision to rip out much of my cottage garden, clear away the old growth, and create a fresh blank canvas for the next season. It may look bare for now, but sometimes the healthiest thing you can do for a garden is start over. Join me as I clean up the beds, restore order, and prepare this space for a whole new wave of color. 🌿 Subscribe for new videos every Friday and Sunday as we continue transforming The Gardens at SkyRidge into four distinct garden styles—including this evolving English cottage garden. 📸 Follow along for behind-the-scenes photos and updates: Instagram:   / thegardensatskyridge   CHAPTERS 0:00 The Cottage Garden Had Gotten Out of Control 0:52 A Tour of What Needed to Be Done 5:03 Time to Start the Reset 8:16 The First Section Is Complete 10:17 How to Properly Deadhead Roses 13:45 Halfway There 16:55 Turning an Old Chicken Run Into a Rose Wall 19:25 Training the Climbing Roses 24:21 Why I Ripped Out Half My Cottage Garden #CottageGarden #GardenTransformation #EnglishGarden #GardenDesign #Gardening
