    I do like a courtyard garden reminds me of a previous place.
    Nice job

    I really enjoy this thread. Such amazing transformations! Very inspiring:)

    @owd potter what is that beautiful blossoming rose on your photo from July 2021? It’s so bright and has so many flowers!😍
  • @Oliya It is just a small patio rose that I inherited along with the house and unfortunately I don't know what the name of it is. I believe it is difficult to identify roses and especially red roses for some reason. If anyone can then @Marlorena would be our best bet.
    It is a marvellous little performer giving masses of blooms all summer. It was previously planted in a bed lost amongst other bigger shrubs so I rescued and relocated it to a spot where it can be appreciated.

    'Flower Carpet' Red... David Austin sells the correct one [not to be confused with Red Velvet which is different].

  • @Allotment Boy I had considered some of those canvas bags but I'm glad I decided against it now! The pots look so much better.

    @februarysgirl that's the way to do it - you've transformed a soulless space into a really lovely garden!  The positioning of your trees is very clever - it makes the garden look wider and leads the eye down the garden as well as upwards.  There's always room for a tree in a garden and well worth the effort!
