Roundup: Our Favorite Garden Gates

September 11, 2013

Hardly a garden feature comes to mind more charming than the garden gate. A personal favorite is the too-low-to-be-useful white picket fence with a gate that opens to a blowsy summer garden. But maybe even better is the oversized, heavy wooden gate that prevents passersby from peeking before it’s opened, with a heavy push, to reveal the gardens within.

In all styles–cottage gates, painted gates, minimalist gates–we love garden gates. Find your favorite in our Garden Gates Gallery.
