Pocket Pot Garden
A Carlton courtyard uses generous containers, bright flowers and a cool leafy corner to make every metre count.
This Inspiration Garden is a concept design, illustrated with the help of AI, to show what's possible with plants suited to Australian conditions. Real gardens from our community are coming soon — share yours.
Garden Areas
Evergreen Anchor Pots
Large containers around the courtyard edge hold naturally compact shrubs and foliage plants. Each has space for its mature spread; the central table and route to the door remain clear.
