It has been a while since I've shared the backyard of the Acorn Cottage. This post will be somewhat photo heavy, so grab your java and peruse on.
There is no secret that I love green and white in the garden. The rear of the house also features lots of green foliage interspersed with white accents. Since the yard is quite shady, I have used lots of different textured ferns to give interest. As you are aware, our front yard was professionally landscaped in a more formal way. In the backyard, I used many existing plants in a natural way. For spring I added the row of white (White Christmas) caladiums. There are also my favorite boxwoods which edge the garden and add some formality to the beds.
New furniture mixed with old makes the yard appear to have grown naturally over time. Remember, we have lived here since September 2018.
Come to the back and relax. Sit a spell! Sip a cocktail!
Here's how the yard looked when we purchased the home in May:
