Enclosed gardens

We have a garden. A nice little garden, small lawn, beautiful flowers and roses- some old ones and som new.
The garden is placed in front of our house facing the street. This means that our house is withdrawn from the street which is nice, but sadly it also means that our garden is a popular place for people to relieve themselves of litter or body fluids.

Also last year all our roses was stolen. Made me quite grumpy I must say...

Still- we love our garden but we would very much like to make it into an enclosed garden, a japanese enclosed garden. This is perfect since our garden has just a couple of hours of sunlight each day and it would look great with gravel, moss, a little pond and shadowloving plants! Making it an enclosed garden would open up for a different and of course a more private use of this space. We do not use it much now- just keeping it as nice and tidy as possible. Has to stay a dream for now- other projects are more urgent and we do like to travel also- so until further we choose to dream about it.

Have an absolutely fabulous evening! Found some pictures to inspire our garden dream!
