SMALL GARDEN DESIGN
There are many books available on garden design and establishing organic vegetable systems. I found lots of ideas which would be suitable. This online video shows the transformation of an inner courtyard garden. "The Small Garden" is a company which provides advice, products and builders to help redesign a small garden. View the Design tab to get a break down of steps needed and consulation fee. Some charming images of their past projects are on view in their Gallery.

Their Blog post gives images before and after the redesign. Read the older posts to see a variety of their work.
Before and After

This video was produced by the owners of "The Small Garden". One way to minimize the amount of garden maintanence is to include paths and seating as a permanent feature.
