The tiny 5mx5.5m basement courtyard was a depressingly bare space when Juan Carlos Cure moved into his London home. And the large glass doors meant the view of the unloved outside area dominated his living room and kitchen too. Undeterred by the small size and shady conditions, Juan set about creating a tropical hideaway. By covering the boundaries in plants, and layering different sizes and shapes of foliage, he has created a garden that looks gorgeous from indoors and outdoors. He has also made the space look far larger than it really is.
You can visit Juan Carlos Cure’s garden through the National Garden Scheme, find out more below. And you can watch this short video of Juan Carlos Cure’s garden, featured on BBC Gardeners’ World.
