Exotic Coastal Garden
This coastal garden in Cornwall is designed to withstand sea breezes and salt-laden air while celebrating the natural beauty of the coast. With hardy grasses, wind-resistant plants, and flowing textures, it offers a relaxed, low-maintenance outdoor space perfectly suited to seaside living.
This coastal garden project in Cornwall blends functionality with natural beauty, creating an outdoor space that thrives in sea air, strong winds, and sandy soils. The design features hardy coastal plants such as sea thrift, echinops, eryngium, and ornamental grasses—chosen for their resilience, movement, and year-round interest. Paths and planting beds are softened with coastal textures, natural stone, and dune-inspired contours that echo the Cornish coastline.
Perfect for homes exposed to the elements, this garden minimises upkeep while maximising visual impact. Drought-tolerant and salt-resistant planting ensures the landscape remains healthy with minimal intervention, while the use of mulch and gravel pathways helps with drainage and weed control.
Whether you're designing a garden near the sea, looking for low-maintenance coastal landscaping ideas, or searching for seaside garden inspiration in Cornwall, this project offers a timeless, durable, and beautiful solution tailored to the region’s unique climate.
