Garden Inspiration Guide: Courtyard Gardens

A courtyard inspired garden is a small, private, enclosed outdoor space, often located at the centre of the home, designed as a peaceful retreat. Typically smaller, it uses walls or fences for privacy and intimacy. Courtyard landscapes feature a variety of plants and trees in large quantities and consist of decorative elements such as water features, chippings, cobble towers and walling. Efficiently utilizing space, they offer a tranquil area for relaxation, blending natural beauty and functionality, whether designed in a modern or traditional style.
