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 are shaded; we're thinking you'll bring your own sun.

For more inspiration, browse our gallery of Small Space Gardening.

Small Outdoor Living Room in San Francisco, Gardenista

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. A "living room" in the back corner of the garden is hidden from the main house by a freestanding fountain. For more of Hecht's strategies, see Small-Scale Gardening in San Francisco. Browse our gallery of Outdoor Furniture for sourcing ideas of your own.
