There really is nothing like an old garden wall as backdrop to a garden and this small courtyard garden is no exception. We were very fortunate to be commissioned to build this garden
After the removal of the old garden features, we decided that we should retain an element of period detail to harmonise with the historic nature of the setting, this is manifested by the black pavior circles. These in turn are linked together by the sharp angular stone paving, creating a wonderful contrast with the more rustic paviors and old bricks.
An abundance of shade loving ferns and hardy grasses along with other low maintenance plants adorn the bedding areas, a flourish of natural sandstone rockery creates contrast and an effective focal point at the rear of the garden.
The sheltered and intimate nature of the garden enclosed by walls with some mature planting allows for a warm and cozy environment to entertain.
We like to think that Garden Craft gave this wonderful old space the new life it richly deserved. Our client fell totally head over heels in love with her new garden, so I have take that as a thorough success!
