The Montecito Outdoor Edit

Cali cool in blighty

slow. layer. escape.

Californian ease, British weather. The Montecito garden isn't about recreating California. It's about borrowing the best bits: oversized terracotta, generous planting, natural materials, beautifully relaxed outdoor furniture and somewhere comfortable enough to stay awhile. These are the pieces that bring a little sun-baked California to a British garden, even when the weather has other ideas.
