Garage / Courtyard

Here’s another multitasking courtyard.

I like the full glass concertina doors – its goes with the steel and gives it a nice swanky edge. You’d definitely need a nice swanky car to match.

Yes I know the plant choice is a bit limited, but anything green is good I say.

Link here, while it lasts. Check out another previous garage/courtyard here.

Cute Courtyard

Love this – squashed amongst “in your face” buildings – a little oasis, so cute…

Use Your View

I love the idea of using your view to influence your garden design. I spend a whole lot of time trying to hide mine, or at least make it look nicer than a plain fence.

Here they have a great view and they could have planted a big fat nothing, but they didn’t. The garden mimics the view whilst providing some interest.  I just need to find me a view like this…
