Yardzen’s most popular style right now: The English Cottage Garden. Yardzen’s Design Director, Kevin Lenhart, spoke with Better Homes & Gardens about the many benefits of this garden trend. Link in bio and stories to read more! And, swipe to see the before!
“Yardzen landscape architect Kevin Lenhart has some thoughts on why this look is gaining popularity. Among them is the changing view on the wide green lawn popular in the United States: Some say these lawns limit biodiversity (even if you participate in No Mow May) and can even introduce powerful fertilizers and pollutants from equipment like gas-powered lawn equipment or leaf blowers into the local ecosystem.
When you think about all the area that lawns occupy across the country, it's an immense missed opportunity to support biodiversity and just to have more aesthetic variety and better expressions of regional landscape character," Lenhart says.
In addition, many homeowners are seeing value in a functional front yard, one that allows for gatherings and interactions with neighbors.
"People are more willing to embrace alternatives to traditional lawns," Lenhart says, which may be a curb appeal point in the English cottage garden's favor.” #myyardzen
