| First build of the planter facades |
 |
| Hidden Gas Meter |
This is the first build of the Courtyard planter facades. Not bad, considering that they been made out of recycled old garden fencing. The plank on top is to get an idea of the edge and will eventually be the same colour as the planters when they are completed. The gas meter (visible in the previous post) has now been concealed behind a liftable flap. The sides of the the planters will probably be squared off as they look kind of messy. The gravel is to be replaced by tile (either terracotta or grey), and the concrete edging leveled and tidied up.
For the planters I'm thinking of low bushy evergreens that will provide a touch of winter colour and can spill over the edges. Euonymus fortunei - Emerald Gaiety and a Spotted Laurel (aucuba japonica) in the far corner which is rather shady, and probably a couple of Hebes to provide so flowering and a splash of colour.

Just an idea but I wonder if it would be too much to add this wonderful wall sconce water feature in the centre of that bare wall?
