City Courtyard Garden

NB: To return to this page from the enlarged photo, just click the photo.

A small garden in the city for someone who wanted straight lines rather than curves in his garden, a lot of water, and a feeling of being away from the city when in the garden.

A water feature made of slate stands in the corner, and water flows along two canals in front of bamboo. Both these features make soothing sounds to obscure the traffic noise outside. Low-maintenance planting provides some colour all year round, with pergola and archway to support climbers, creating a natural feel even though most of the garden is paved.
