Gabor Allen Courtyard Garden by Garden Design

Slightly different from previous postings that many reviews about the design of the house, this time I tried to pick up the topic of home gardens. As we know that garden is an important element to add the beauty of the house, so need a match between house style with a garden type.

Courtyard garden is one of simple garden type that only needs small area of our house, usually we place it in front of a house, on the left or right side of the house, or even in the center of the house. Simple and no need a lot of time to maintain it. But we have participated on global warming preventing program, beside decorating our house.

The dining table, made by Gabor from old wooden fencing planks, does double duty for working lunches and family gatherings.

Bold clumps of Colocasia esculenta ‘Fontanesii’ (black taro) help divide the small garden into separate spaces.

In the outdoor living room, Gabor + Allen’s distinctive fire table made from natural stone emerges from a groundcover of Sedum anglicum

In the front garden (which used to be a lawn), curvilinear planting beds frame the perimeter of the permeable hardscaped patio with a bright palette of lime green, yellows and oranges. The chairs were a Santa Monica Airport flea market find, reupholstered with new coral Sunbrella fabric cushions. Plants include Acorus gramineus ‘Ogon’ (Japanese sweet flag), Agave desmetiana and Farfugium japonicum ‘Aureomaculatum’ (leopard plant).
