Timeline: Cottage garden evolution

Year 1 • Soils & Structure

Preparing the bed: Colorado friendly soils

We begin with amended beds, focusing on organic matter, drainage, and microclimates ideal for perennial borders. Our approach blends heirloom varieties with drought-tolerant options for seasonal color fall through spring.

Year 2 • Color & Texture

Plant palette & cottage texture

Layer warm autumn hues with soft greens: rudbeckia, echinacea, asters, late-season leys. Combine textural elements like grasses and dried seedheads for year-round interest.

Year 3 • Floral Design

Seasonal arrangements & stems

With a focus on cut flowers, we master vase design, harvest windows, and color balance for centerpieces that reflect Colorado’s autumn light.

Year 4 • Sustainability

Water-wise care & preservation

Implement drip irrigation and mulching strategies to conserve water while maintaining vibrant blooms for bouquets and installations.
