courtyard garden
Walled outdoor plantings
A courtyard garden is a garden enclosed by walls or buildings, typically at the center of a structure or between wings of a building.
The enclosed space creates a sheltered microclimate and private outdoor retreat: The courtyard garden featured a small fountain surrounded by potted citrus trees.
Common in Mediterranean, Spanish colonial, and urban architecture where outdoor space is limited.
