Some Great Ideas for Small Gardens or Courtyards
If your courtyard is looking a bit lacklustre, why not give it a revamp using some of the following ideas:
Add Container Plants
Container
plants are a simple solution for livening up a courtyard. You won’t
need to dig out planting holes or build raised beds to achieve an
instant effect.
There are many different containers available,
ranging from man-made reconstituted stone and plastic through to wood
and terracotta.
You can place pots along the ground, planters along
the tops of walls, planter boxes or troughs on the face of walls, or
even hang baskets from awnings and pergolas.
Make sure that the weight can be supported adequately though.
For
a formal effect, use matched containers and plantings in a symmetrical
arrangement. For a more relaxed approach, group together different
styles of containers and plants.
