kimo's COURTYARD garden

Garden Type: Patio | Sun: Full Sun | Soil: Clay

A Very tiny back garden….postage stamp might describe it best, however I love it and I spend a lot of time out back. I grow ornamental grasses, and cordyline type plants… I do however have the occasional hanging basket and tubs with vibrant bedding plants & flowers, i have clematis growing up each of my fence panels for added colour and interest. I actually did away with my lawn in the back garden (I have never regretted the decision) a number of years ago and I have paving and cobbles with pebbly boarders, I simply adore the design and find it so easy to manage.
