A Courtyard of Local Wildflowers and Grasses
Enclosed walls and native plants create a private habitat garden that buzzes with life and requires almost no maintenance.
Почему это работает
A courtyard concentrates the sensory experience of a native garden into an intimate enclosed space. The walls create a warm, sheltered microclimate that extends the growing season. Because the courtyard is contained, maintenance is minimal.
Как воссоздать этот стиль
Plant a low native grass matrix as the living floor. Add drifts of native wildflowers in clusters by bloom season. Place a large natural boulder with a scooped top as a birdbath. Train native honeysuckle or trumpet vine on the courtyard walls.

Часто задаваемые вопросы
01 Is a courtyard too small for a meaningful native garden?
Even a 100-square-foot courtyard supports dozens of native species and attracts measurable pollinator activity.
02 Will courtyard walls block enough sun for native plants?
Many natives tolerate partial shade — wild columbine, wild ginger, and native ferns thrive in 3-4 hours of direct sun.
03 Do I need to water a native courtyard garden?
Water during the first growing season. After that, local rainfall is typically sufficient since the enclosed walls reduce wind exposure and evaporation.
