Rural family garden with cottage‑wild planting and space to grow

A large rural garden designed for a young family who wanted a space that feels wild, welcoming and rooted in nature. The layout blends cottage‑style planting with edible growing areas, children’s play routes and generous places to gather, cook and eat outdoors. Native coastal plants, a wildlife pond and meadow areas bring movement and habitat into the garden, while raised beds, an edible forest and a productive vegetable garden support year‑round home growing. The outdoor dining area is sheltered and private, with room for extended family and friends, and the fire pit and lighting extend the day into the evening. The design balances a relaxed, shabby‑chic character with high‑end materials, creating a garden that is practical, beautiful and deeply connected to the surrounding landscape.
