Welcoming Entries

People are drawn to New England style for lots of reasons, but one we hear over and over is that they love the traditional feel of our houses and gardens. It’s true that architecturally our houses resemble a child’s drawings. A central front door with windows to either side and a chimney on the roof sums up the simplicity of New England style. You can bring a touch of that style to your home by creating a front entry garden that’s as straightforward as the region that inspired it.

Keep it Serene and Green

When it comes to creating a New England style front entry garden, there’s an easy formula. Cut back and simplify. Select a gardening palette of green hues and limit your plant variety to create elegant and welcoming entries.

Various green hues mingle to create a sophisticated entry garden. Chartreuse creepers soften the circular patio, and the blue and white planter pots add a touch of elegance and formality to the symmetrical design.

Simply welcoming entries are easy to create. By limiting your colors and plantings you’ll find that you can add New England flair to your garden.
