Grasses rustle and sway, water trickles distantly, and cleverly placed stepping-stone paths entice the visitor to take a thoughtful stroll. Each step through this courtyard garden in mid-town Toronto offers a special visual moment. Although the garden is small—a mere 50 by 50 feet—each element is so perfectly in scale that the space seems at least three times larger. It is a courtyard garden, yes, but in the words of the homeowner, it’s “a little voluptuous as the plants undulate all around.”
