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

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 ส.ค. 2024
- 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.
Well... I know money alone can't buy happiness, but this gets pretty darn close. Incredible home and love her passion for it.
She’s living her best life
My life expectancy increased by 7 minutes after watching this soothing video and her voice is so calm and pleasant. Thank you . This is my dream project
That courtyard adds 10 years to your lifespan. At least!
That's a Texas belle. I hope she enjoys her beautiful garden with friends, family and handsome gentlemen for years and years to come. What a sweet lady. :-D Margarita time.
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.
She's a constant inspiration to me! What a magnificent woman!
Garden is as lovely as it’s owner.
Hacienda style is my favorite style. Patio is fantastically well executed. Thanks for sharing.
Bless to be born and raised in San Antonio Texas 😊 one of the most beautiful states in America 🇺🇸thank you for sharing your beautiful video 👏🙏
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!
Can you please share how you did that man ?
I want to do it too.
Yes pls share I'm working on mine too.
That beautiful courtyard fits the home, and it's gracious owner. Just lovely.
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.
Wow, I could spend the rest of my life in that wonderful and relaxing garden.
Is a beautiful garden, I love the spanish style, so warm and inviting 🌳☘🌵🌻🏜
Beautiful courtyard. Looks very peaceful.
all that limestone for the cost of delivery!!! Wow man. Wonderful. So glad it was saved!! Looks perfect there:)
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
My go to vid when I want to feel calm and relaxed...beautiful place
It certainly is a "feel god" go to video. Replayed it myself a few tines. After this my small rose garden is looking boring.
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!!!
I agree! I love Mexico!
So relaxing an amazingly beautiful ♥ jus beautiful
Claire, you are a lovely woman with much class. Your garden is a delight and I love that you entertain often. I’d happily cover the Margarita/Martini bar for ya anytime. Thanks for the smiles and wonderful tour. 🦋
Simply gorgeous. One day I will be able to sit out in my own beautiful garden and watch these videos on my ipad instead of sitting inside the house watching them on my desktop computer!
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.
Oh, just breathtakingly beautiful. I could spend many a twilight reading Garcia-Marquez and enjoying some ranch water. Reminds me a bit of the McNay center courtyard, a local art museum to San Antonio, TX.
Glad you enjoyed it!
What charming courtyard garden it is.Breathtaking,tranquil,peaceful and serene !
“Puebla” spoken like a Texas queen. I miss my home
Oh my goodness this is the most beautiful yard I have seen, it Is so breathtaking
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.
I feel like I’m at the SA riverwalk looking at the courtyard. Beautiful…who needs a pool when you could have an aqueduct😊
Sensational ! Absolutely breathtaking !! If i was a Monarch Buttefly.I would choose Clair's mission-styled courtyard as a final resting place....;)))))
Me too!
Absolutely gorgeous!!!!
Sooo calm peaceful
And Beautiful ❤️ I love it!
Beautiful the most beautiful yard
Absolutely beautiful
Really good esthetic sense. Looks comfortable feelings.
Beautiful house, that house is a dream 🤍
Such a majestic garden
Lovely! I'm a landscape designer in Florida, admiring this unique transformation.
you can take many ideas of this garden and courtyard and implement them in Florida.The plants and home ideas due to weather would look astonishing in Florida .If only more people in Florida would adapt these gardens in Florida.
Inspiration is what this video gave me!!!
Jesus that looks like like paradise

Reminds me of an actress from the Bette Davis era.
yeah she kind of does alright that's for sure.
I just posted this without reading your comment :Bette Davis,Joan Crawford ( who was from Texas ) or even later on Agnes Morehead. Many had beautiful Spanish Revival houses in California .
Truly amazing 😀
AMAZING
Just amazing!
Jardim Sensacional!!
Beautiful place
The margarita bar. And the margarita pool. I'm leaving it there for ya.
Very lovely.
Reuse of the limestone was a good idea.
Great outdoor rooms.
The main courtyard may be too busy.
Yeah she really lucked out on those free bricks and limestone chunks! Serendipity!!!
So beautiful
Quite lovely! I am a horticulturist by trade and I am also a former landscaper... What a Paradise she has (had) created!! All I can think of is to say, it must be nice to be rich!!! 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!!!
Be nice.
@@kmarch6630 truth hurts huh? You must be a checkbook gardener yourself! Otherwise why would you care? BTW, I am a very nice person!!!
Nice job!
beautifull courtyard. I wish I had that land size!! I been trying to make my own courtyard in my 6000 sq feet lot. is coming along very nice but slowly!!.
That sounds fantastic! And garden building does take lots of time, but you said it best "coming along nicely." And it's always changing, too, so never "done."
Gorgeous
wow wonderful
Perfection!
Very beauty rancho. My dream...
oh how i would like to go for a dip there today :)
Hello sister iamwatching your stuning video from mandi. Deep bhopal. Madhya pradesh stae. In dia

What a jem of a courtyard this one is?
Oh to be a member of this generation with all that disposable income.
But I love her garden so much
really wesome, like havens.
the spañol style is the beutifull arquitecture in the word
I hope she is alive and well, entertaining in her courtyard and truly enjoying every moment. Without a mask.
luv it
Yes looks like the Haciendas turned to spa hotels in the Yuccatan
Persian gardens were spread across the world by Islamic empire and later got known as Islamic gardens. They later got evolved into other gardens such as French and British gardens.
and later from the Islamic contact in Spain and Italy, and from Spain expanded to Mexico and other parts of Latin America, and later to the California, the American S.W. ,Texas .and also from Spain to Cuba and the Caribbean and into Florida,USA.
Really need more parties at her house....
why would you want to go anywhere else when you live in heaven itself
