Two very different courtyard gardens

Glyn's completed garden

This small space was transformed with beautiful natural stone paving and complementary planting of Buxus sempervirens (box) and Phyllostachys aurea (bamboo). In a small space such as this, keep the planting simple and unfussy.

Jackies finished courtyard garden

Planting in raised beds and interesting paving makes a real difference to this space which was previously entirely covered in block paving without a single plant.

This narrow corridor, once dark and dismal, is now light and interesting.
