I transformed my dull new build garden into a country cottage dream on the cheap with bargain Aldi buys…it looks insane
A WOMAN has revealed that she transformed her dull new build garden into a country cottage dream, whilst on a budget.
Alice Rose Buttery explained that she spent a long time planning before getting to work and now, three months later, has a beautiful garden that she is immensely proud of.
Posting on social media, Alice has shown off a before and after look at her garden.
To start with, her space was very plain – however, she has planted beautiful flowers and plants and nabbed some cheap furniture from Aldi to totally transform the area.
Alice explained: “Transforming my new build garden into a country cottage dream.
“Gardening was one of the things I was most excited about about getting our new house.
“I’ve been planning this immensely for a long time.
“First thing I did before I started was planned where I wanted everything.
“I’m going for a country cottage vibe.
“I’ve dug out the border on the left and put in so many plants and shrubs.
“I’ve been getting my lavender from Morrisons and Home Bargains, which has been an amazing place to get plants – really cheap if you’re looking for volume.
“I’ve put a few climbing plants in, I’ve got some taller shrubs.”
Alice confirmed that she got her garden furniture from Aldi, as she added: “I got this set on Aldi’s website.
“I managed to get this when they were doing 40% off of the outdoor stuff.
“It’s got two chairs, a sofa, all the cushions and then a little table and I got it for £240 down from £400, which I think is pretty reasonable.
“I absolutely love how this set looks – it definitely looks more premium than £240.
“I really like the rope effect.”
Not only this, but Alice also bought solar lights from Home Bargains, as she continued: “These lights are one of my best finds on my garden transformation journey.
“These are some solar spot lights from Home Bargains, they are £7.99.
“The quality of these is so good, they are really, really bright.”
In another video, Alice shared a close-up look at her garden transformation so far.
Posting on TikTok, she explained: “Our new build garden, three months after moving in.
“I’m so happy with how our new build garden is coming on.
“Still so much to do but I love how we’ve brought nature and wildlife back into this space!”
Social media users were left stunned at Alice’s garden overhaul, many of which were keen to express in the comments.
One person said: “It looks so lovely! We also had the struggle when moving into a newer build, having plants to look after is so rewarding when you see them grow!”
Another added: “Blimey…what a transformation? Love it.”
A third commented: “I can’t get over how amazing this looks in such a short space of time!! Jealous! You should be so pleased.”
Whilst someone else posted: “So beautiful.”
