A Kitchen Courtyard - with a difference .....

these are images that I took whilst at an open garden in Johannesburg.
I came round the corner only to be greeted by this fantastic kitchen courtyard with a definite french or european flair ....

gravel, french styled table and chairs, a bicycle, and of course wonderful pots...
some with herbs, others with plants .....
and since this spot is right outside the (gorgeous!!!!) kitchen, personally, I would certainly utilise the pots for herbs and small vegetables ....

A Country Styled Garden




I hadn't done a garden psot in quite some time and thought, today is the day ...
This is a  collection of images from a country styled garden in Australia.  It's been perfectly laid out and the utmost attention to detail given to it.  Note how the flowers are white and all other "touches" are worn and weathered in shades of white.

A versatile gazebo

another great outdoor living space idea - a versatile gazebo with plants creeping along it .... a bistro table, a few chairs, some tea lights/ candfles/ lanterns and you have the ideal spot for sundowners, an early dinner... or whatever else takes your fancy!

Waterfeatures

A few options in terms of water features for the garden.
The style and size you choose is really dependent on the style of your home and garden and also the space you have available.
a very simple country/ french inspired waterfeature
a trough like waterfeature - perfect in a provencal type garden
a classical design

a simple, almost modern design to complement the lines of the house - where a more classical or even ornate waterfeature would also have fitted in.
