Courtyard Ideas

A courtyard garden is generally surrounded by high walls and is often placed inside a home or other commercial building. Courtyard gardens are quite common in public places like hospitals, schools, and also in private homes.

Most courtyard ideas are generally created to match the architecture and style of the home or building that surrounds them. Often because of small space limitations and access issues, courtyards are planted in with containers and planters.

Enclosed patio courtyards will often have additional decorating and design opportunities because of the vertical space of the walls. Along with fountains and container gardening, ideas for enclosed courtyards are often whimsical and themed to match surroundings.
