Sally's English Cottage Garden

Sally’s Garden was built to reflect the romantic aesthetic of English Cottage gardens designed in the Victorian era by the likes of famed designer Gertrude Jekyll. The sense of romance is reflected by soft textures and colors of pastel yellows, pinks, soft blues and purples and white.
