How to create a fairytale cottage garden

With tumbling roses, rambling vines and overflowing borders of colourful blooms, there is nothing quite as romantic as a cottage garden. But why settle for a chocolate box when you could have something truly magical?

Fairytale cottage garden ideas should draw on your sense of wonder and encapsulate the magic of those fictional spaces, pulling together practical design elements with a little childhood whimsy.

Draw on illustrations of Snow White’s forest cottage, the mystical world of Alice in Wonderland and the vivid descriptions of Frances Hodgson Burnett’s Secret Garden to create a space that truly delights the imagination.
