I plan to plant small grasses and creeping herbs and succulents in this bed to soften the fountain area.<\/p>\n<div class=\"captionfull\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/lostvalleygardens.com\/LVGblog\/imageshome\/fountain.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Courtyard Fountain from Above<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The rock pathway draws attention to the entrance to the courtyard and leads one into the courtyard area.
