I’ve been doing a lot of research about garden design since Mr. and I have decided to tackle some new gardening projects in our backyard. When I retire I could easily see myself spending more time outdoors tending to the bounties of nature but for now I need something pretty and very low maintenance. In my research I came across a small garden designed by London based landscaper Karen Rogers. Her client lives in an urban London setting and was desiring a garden that would provide privacy from the street and surrounding neighbors, provide seating for 6, and serve as a beautiful space to have coffee in the morning. As a result, Karen Rogers created this beautiful courtyard garden that stopped me in my tracks. The circular courtyard incorporates a lovely sunken outdoor dining space. I can only imagine that sitting at the table would make you feel completely enveloped by nature and make you forget that you’re actually in the middle of the city. Oh, to be able to relax in that inner circle…
Thank you for this timely post! I am off today to France to help a client with her interiors & her courtyard. As a landscape designer I noted many original design elements to mirror. much luck! if this is your inspiration, you cannot go wrong
cheers

Hi Debra, best to you for a very successful trip. I am glad you enjoyed today’s post and was able to provide some inspiration. My garden makeover will be very simple and really nothing like this. Today’s post is a garden goal but not likely at this house. Safe travels…
All the best…V.
this is debra again. my moniker is not “begging for attention!” have no idea how that happened 😡
No worries! That definitely didn’t seem like you! Safe travels…
So very pretty. I can see how it would be very inspirational for you. Good luck with your project.
A beautiful oasis in the center of city chaos. What a beautiful outdoor space! Thanks for sharing.
What beautiful garden photos! They remind me of how much I still need to do! 💕
