A mature garden is essentially an outdoor space that includes plenty of mature trees, shrubs and plants, but that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be maintained. You can have neatly trimmed hedges and tall, tidy plants to the side of a neat pathway, while colourful flowers will give your garden a burst of colour in the summer months.
If you own a country cottage or a traditional rural property, then this could be an ideal garden style, and you can get a lot of privacy from having a garden bordered by mature trees and bushes. There’s a forest-like feel when you let mature plants take the spotlight in your garden, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have a well maintained lawn, a contemporary pond area or a summer house.
Modern garden features can compliment established plants and trees, so why not let yours take the spotlight, and create a traditional British cottage garden.
