We browsed our gallery for private garden spaces perfect for sharing
words or a quiet cup of tea. By happenstance, all the gardens we chose

Above: A "Lilliputian backyard" behind a San Francisco home feels larger than it is thanks to designer Alma Hecht's strategy of subdividing the yard into distinct outdoor rooms.

Browse our gallery of Outdoor Furniture for sourcing ideas of your own.
