Often defined as an enclosed area, where in some cases, the main part of the building is disposed around a central courtyard. Courtyard gardens don’t belong to one specific period in history, they have been around throughout the centuries.
Historically, many grand estates had courtyards within their homes as well as having a courtyard garden. Many derelict stately homes have undergone garden restoration and have been restored as courtyard gardens.
The introduction of courtyards in Georgian homes were to provide private areas for guests to talk in. These courtyards were often decorated with statues with a central large water feature.
In modern times they have become extremely popular, the sense of community that can be provided by a courtyard garden has made them a permanent fixture in modern day living making them a timeless feature.These gardens are very popular and can be restored and recreated in many ways.
