PicklePatch Exclusive: A Peek into Stacey Solomon’s Enchanting Garden Oasis

As a pickling enthusiast, I’m always on the lookout for inspiration to elevate my garden game. And, let me tell you, Stacey Solomon’s garden at Pickle Cottage is the epitome of a forever home. The Loose Women star and her husband, Joe Swash, have transformed their £1.2 million cottage into a haven that’s perfect for their family of seven.

A serene garden oasis

The Solomon-Swash family has been busy renovating their home since 2021, and it’s clear that they’ve put their heart and soul into creating a space that’s perfect for their brood. With 2.5 acres of land, the kids have ample space to run wild and free.

A refreshing summer spot

One of the standout features of the garden is the refurbished pool, which Stacey cleverly renovated to include a shallow water area perfect for the little ones. According to swimming pool specialists, refurbishing an outdoor pool can cost anywhere from £5,000 to £20,000. But, trust me, it’s worth every penny.

A charming wendy house makeover

The DIY queen also gave the wendy house in the back garden a stunning makeover, transforming it into a beautiful grey and white cottage-style haven. And, let’s not forget the bespoke wooden swing, which is an ode to their three boys, Zachary, Leighton, and Rex.

A heartfelt tribute to the boys

The swing, which cost £109 from Fall with Grace, is embossed with the words: “To our darling boys… We love you to the moon and back.” It’s a beautiful touch that adds to the magic of the garden.

A fun-filled play area

The garden also features a giant play area, complete with a green slide, swings, and a climbing frame from Rebo. A similar set would set you back around £1,000, but it’s an investment worth making for the kids’ sake.

A chic relaxation spot

Last but not least, the couple has created a stunning Grecian-inspired pergola, perfect for relaxing on warm summer evenings. Paired with an enormous log burner, it’s the perfect spot to unwind with the family.

Stacey Solomon’s garden is a true inspiration for any pickling enthusiast looking to create their own forever home. With its perfect blend of functionality and beauty, it’s a space that’s sure to delight both kids and adults alike.
