Keeping this in consideration, how do you create depth in a small garden?
Layer your plants 'When space is at a minimum, the key is to create depth by layering your plants' advises Lee. 'So you start with small trees such as the Amelanchier Robin Hill; these grow to around five or seven metres and will provide blossom, fruit and a lovely leaf colour in your garden.
Start by painting your boundary walls in a cool colour, like 'Woodland Grey' by Dulux, which is used here. Cooler colours fade away from the eye, making the courtyard look longer than it actually is. You can further emphasise this effect by using warm colours like red and orange in the foreground of the courtyard.
