A Cottage Garden with Ducks & a Mini Meadow in the English Countryside

Content creator Ramona Jones takes us through her beloved cottage garden surrounding her 270-year-old home in Somerset, England — divided into eight distinct sections and tended entirely by hand over 7 years. With four runner ducks, a wild mini meadow of native fritillaries, primroses, and bluebells left unmown for years, hundreds of Darwin hybrid tulips and daffodils, a winter garden bursting with crocuses and hellebores, reclaimed Scottish whiskey barrels for homemade fertilizer, a hand-woven willow border, and a hand-built scallop shell wall that took 26 hours to complete — this is a garden built entirely through trial, error, and pure love.
