The budget for this Cottage Garden Makeover was spent on the planting plan design, preparation of beds and plants. The new beds were marked out and in order to keep the cost down they were advertised on Freecycle as ‘lawn not yet lifted’. Two families came and removed the turf and the beds were prepared with organic material ready for planting.
