This tiny courtyard is a perfect outdoor dining spot. It is just outside the kitchen and has the perfect amount of room for a custom metal bistro table and four chairs. The tightly-laid flagstone is a perfect floor, and the narrow, but rich planting beds give the space warmth and additonal depth. A redwood fence balances privacy with light and airflow that keep the plants happy and make the garden feel more spacious. photo: Buell Steelman, Mosaic Gardens
