Spanish courtyard garden San Antonio : Claire Golden | Central Texas Gardener

  • Inspired by trips to Mexico, Claire Golden restored her historic mission-styled courtyard in San Antonio. She banished sloping lawn for pleasant outdoor rooms, connected by a central aqueduct, bold plants, and a margarita cantina.
    In front, a shady plaza arranged with faux bois furniture by Carlos Cortes invites conversation around a recirculating stream.

    That courtyard adds 10 years to your lifespan. At least!

    I wasn’t expecting to like this video, don’t know why, but this lady has such good taste & has created a place of beauty to be alone or with friends, or to entertain organizations & charity events in style.

      If you scratch the soil in San Antonio, you encounter limestone bedrock a couple of inches below the surface! I know, from being a kid there 😀 and from how they had to jackhammer it to put in our childhood pool.

      So true, I moved to SA late in life and trying to create a landscape in NW San Antonio is next to impossible. A shovel hits rock at about 3-4 inches across my property!@@merrywalsh2809

    Absolutely beautiful! I have a courtyard that I have worked so hard in transforming it into a Spanish hacienda. This video only inspires me even more!

    It reminds of the Arab gardens in the Spanish peninsula. It is where that style originates. They loved water running and its sound. In the Medieval they were more sophisticated than many Europeans. They were finally expelled from Spain by the Catholic King and Queen but left many architectonical wonders behind.

    This is the most beautiful courtyard I've seen in such a very long time in America. I'm seriously considering to design and construct a yard like this only much smaller. Lol. Mexico is the ultimate beauty that I've seen in all my travels. I've always been inspired by such artistic beauty and talent of their culture!!!

    That has to be one of the most beautiful courtyards I’ve seen in America. However, as an artist and hobbyist historian, that is much more a Spanish/Moorish or even Ottoman than a Mexican inspired courtyard.

Like many of my former clients, there seems to be no limits on all of the accessories she can purchase to give her garden that "it" look!!! (We call them "checkbook gardeners"... Too bad they didn't interview any of the people who actually made "it" happen!!!

    Wow. Incredible. This is perfect. The pools, the sconce lighting, palms, the door, the rustic Bridge. This lady has the "it" factor when it comes to taste. It doesn't hurt that she has the Betty White dimples. I was expecting her to start a vignette about St. Olaf.😉 oh, almost forgot. I would do exactly the same on the espalier. A good use for courtyard walls. A++ I'm moving to Dallas in two months. When I knock on the door please let me in. I'll pay.
