A figment of your imagination brought to life.

We design cottage gardens that look like a fairytale and feel like a dream. Overflowing borders. Idylic meadows. Edible landscapes (almost) too pretty to eat. On-site in Maryland & virtually everywhere else.

Why grow grass when you can grow flowers?

We have no trouble filling space with romantic cottage gardens, magical meadows, prim potagers, and everything in the English cottage garden aesthetic! From espaliers and raised bed design for renters to sprawling multi-acre garden plans, we've done and do it all.

The art of controlled chaos—it's what we do!

Curb appeal is one thing. A cottage garden is another. Walls covered in roses, hollyhocks swaying in the breeze. These gardens are timeless, classic, and only get better each season.

"Caroline has been instrumental in bringing my vision of "cottage garden" to life! Her creativity and eye for creating spaces with purposeful visual tension that looks totally unintentional is remarkable and sets her apart from run-of-the-mill "designers." On top of that, her professionalism, flexibility, and commitment to her clients makes every interaction delightful!"
