Question by Acadia: How can I make my lawn look like the beautiful hidden garden courtyards of the French Quarter in New Orleans?
For the first time in my life, I’m going to live in a REAL house (after living in a trailer for 18 years!) and this house has quite a lot of lawn that I would like to make into a beautiful garden, like the ones you see in New Orleans, hidden by those French-looking black iron fences, with lots of stone and green.

Except…I don’t know where to start! Can anyone provide me with resources for this kind of garden building, or show me pictures of the kind of garden I’m talking about (I’m actually having quite a difficult time finding some)? I would especially love links to websites that sell this type of material.

Thank you for any help!!!

I would suggest you go to a local nursery and have them come out and see what you have. Certain plants and bushes grow better in certain places like direct or indirect sunlight. They will or should know what you need and where to place everything you want.
