New Orleans Courtyard

 

 This small yet unique garden is located in Grosse Pointe Park, MI. We were commissioned to create a garden that combined the quaint charm of a New Orleans Courtyard Garden with the client’s love of Koi fish.

 

A small, yet lovely pond, featuring an antique Wrought Iron Fountain was built to feature the adult Koi fish. Building upon the formal fountain area, a series of garden rooms were constructed, based upon the axial orientation of the home. Passing through a Wooden Arbor and accompanying Butterfly Garden, the site line terminates into the Shell Wall Fountain and “youngling” koi fish pond accented with bi-symmetrical voluptuous Boarder Gardens to either side. To the North of the primary fountain, an Outdoor Dining Garden is placed for entertainment and beyond the formal lawn area by passing through the Topiary Lilacs which frame the Iris Garden understory.
