courtyard gardens
Walled outdoor plantings
Courtyard gardens are enclosed outdoor spaces surrounded by walls or buildings, cultivated with plants and often featuring paths, seating, or water elements.
The term describes both the design style and the gardens themselves: The hotel's courtyard garden provided a quiet retreat from the busy street.
Common in Mediterranean, Spanish colonial, and urban architecture where ground space is limited but vertical enclosure creates a private outdoor room.
