b'spice and shimmer for an antique Persian courtyardTania Barke of Through the Garden Gate suggests this alternative scheme: Ive drawn on formal Persian garden themes for inspiration for this courtyard garden. Its a courtyard to be part of, with a covered seating area close to the house.Decoration comes in the form of coloured metal panels with patterns cut into them, which help enclose the space. To complete the setting Atlantean-style pots mark the corners. The seating has been rearranged to look down the garden, focusing on the fountain. Box hedging frames squares of Choisya tenata, planted beneath the delicate umbrella canopy of the Persian silk tree, Albizia julibrissin, to complete this tranquil setting.phone 0272 878 592 email tania@ttgg.co.nzReseneWanakaKos JarPalmers Gardenworld Remuera 09 524 4038 English Register FountainGarden Bronze Co www.gardenbronze.co.nz 09 444 4137Golden Beige Rock pavingReseneMisoSpazioCasa www.spaziocasa.co.nzResene09 255 1490 Roasted OrangeReseneSpitfire Albizia julibrissin Resene(Persian silk tree)WanakaCustom-made curved awning Shades Direct www.shadesdirect.co.nz illustration 0800 742 337Bruce BryantKingston sun chair and tableXteriors off Broadwaywww.outdoorfurniture.co.nz 09 529 510291'
