Classic courtyard

To give this garden the personality it deserved, architectural salvage yards were scoured for a stone ball, plinths, reclaimed bricks and yorkstone paving. The modern finishes were covered with new limewash render and a new brick and flint wall replaced a tired crumbly one. Two oak benches became a destination, yes - even in a tiny space you can be taken on a journey! Traditional planting - including ferns and house leeks - completed this shady retreat.
