9. Location: Miami Beach, FloridaWhy we love it: Surrounded on all sides by water and lush, tropical foliage, this “floating” courtyard in Florida gets as close to a jungle retreat as we can imagine, while mod lounge seats and a nearby kitchen promise hours of relaxing in the sun with beverage and snacks in hand.
Then tropical plants (bamboo and banana especially) were packed in to help create screening and provide a sense of privacy, as well as to give the garden a lush jungly feel. Lots of the plants are in pots, including fig trees, palms and tropical climbers.Watering is the bulk of the upkeep here, as there’s little pruning required, and an irrigation system makes even this easy.
