Charlestown Pocket Garden

This Charlestown garden transforms a compact backyard into a flexible outdoor living space that supports dining, lounging, and everyday use. A courtyard patio extends seamlessly from the house, creating a natural flow between the interior and the garden beyond. Built-in elements help maximize function within a limited footprint, including a custom planter bench with concealed storage and an outdoor kitchen counter that gives a freestanding grill a more integrated architectural presence. Layered planters and native plantings frame the space with a mix of flowers and herbs, bringing seasonal texture, fragrance, and habitat value to the garden. A trellis softens the courtyard edge and allows climbing plants to form a lush green screen, adding privacy and enclosure while reinforcing the garden’s intimate character.
