This is one solution to the typical long narrow walled garden behind a terraced house. It is cut into two rooms: the first is tranquil, with grass shrubs and a winding path, enticing you out of the house. The second is hidden but sunny and pink when you discover it, with warm brick paths, succulents and a large blue agave nicknamed ‘Audrey’. Recent changes include a little greenhouse and a damp garden, on a sandy soil prone to drying out in summer.
