One of my favorite cottage gardens in Warninglid was the second garden we toured, Old Post. The garden of the oldest house (circa 1430) in The Street, creates a dramatic first impression of color, shape, and texture with a select choice of blooms and creative landscaping. There were so many small vignettes of activity and bursts of color to enjoy! Let’s look closely at Old Post!

The display of white flowers and soft variations of shades of green foliage beckons us to the entry of the garden. The long narrow garden plot is so inviting and every bit of space is used to its advantage! Look at the trough planter on the old sewing machine stand creating height and interest! Notice how white, white these plants are? Two paths to follow, which one should we take first?

Every cottage garden could use a box hedge, a stone wall and a touch of white! Or maybe a soft robins egg blue-green dividing wall!

The clematis trellis creates an entrance into another garden room.

Don’t forget the walls of your garden. Give us a reason to look up! Lovely!

Every spot in the garden was used! Another variety of chimney pot tucked in here and there! I should do a post on pots! I love them! Are there chimney pot collectors? Most of these pots seem to be made of clay. Here we see a black trellis to show off the plants! A touch of black is a must!

One can never have enough of a variety of containers! Love the look it creates! How about the distinction in the brick path using old and new! The brick edging continued throughout the garden creating sweeping curves.

The wispy, silver green stems of the yarrow adds height and contrast, bringing out the white of the flower pots.

Awwww….these photos are so lovely…….the English Gardens are so magical!
I hope everyone is not getting tired of gardens! They were all so different! The UK is a gardener’s paradise! I also wonder if gardening is so desired following the merits of having one during the wars. I learned so much on this vacation!
Beautiful, and I could never get sick of looking at garden photos. I love the brick paving and edging in this. I love the randomness of the other material included, not sure if it is old pieces of concrete or flat rock, but it looks great.
We had such a great time going to the gardens on the National Garden Schemes in the UK! If I lived there I would be going to gardens every weekend and coming home with tons of great plants! I would need a 300 acre garden and lots of help!
[…] of the most beautiful of the old cottages and gardens in Warninglid, Sussex! Check out my post about it! […]
What a fabulous garden. So many beautiful plants, and I love the letter box. 🙂
Maybe just for letters and no bills? Ha ha!
I liked the lavender bell-shaped flowers at the entrance to Old Post, as well as the color diversity and all the pots.
Old Post was one of my favorites in Warniglid . When I win the lottery I may have to see about a cottage there! They had a new one for sale, but I wouldn’t want a new one! I don’t think any of these people sell their cottages because when I asked how long they had lived in them the average was 30 years! I think they pass them down to the family. I would too.
