How we made our little courtyard with knot garden

Here is the finished article 6 years on. It's been finished for a few years but we've made changes as needed. We're north facing so the vintage bricks struggled & broke with the cold in winter. They were so difficult to clean too so when we had our extension built in 2014, we replaced it all with the same stone inside & it. In terms of continuity it's worked really well & is far far easier to maintain. The water bowl is by Capital Garden Products & was made to order. It looks great through the seasons & we are delighted
