Joan Clifton celebrates the enclosed garden space, providing ideas for transforming the smallest courtyard, terrace or roof garden into a peaceful haven. Each section looks at a different style, highlighting the most important features, whether this is good-quality hard landscaping and interesting sculpture in "Smart Sanctuaries" or atmospheric lighting and trickling water features in "Entertaining Places". "Family Rooms" looks at integrating features for children with peaceful corners for adults, while "Edible Eden" shows how to grow fresh natural produce in potagers, containers and raised beds. "Contemplative Retreats", are gardens with a spiritual dimension incorporating natural materials and soothing water features. A section on "Contemporary Spaces" covers modern courtyard design. Each section also includes a case study including "A Zen-Style Retreat", with a three-dimensional plan and practical information on how to recreate the looks with a gallery of ideas for different floors and surfaces, walls and fences, and paints and finishes. This is combined with an illustrated "Plant Directory".
