Planting: Citrus, Jasmine, and Grapevine

Planting in the courtyard. Two or three citrus or lemon trees are planted in square soil pits left in the paving. Climbing jasmine and Damask roses are at the corners of the walls, and grapevines climb a wooden trellis on one side, creating shade. The number of plants is not large but they are fragrant, and the tree canopy height does not exceed two stories. Avoid: filling the courtyard with plants to make it a garden, using lawns that require extensive irrigation, trees so tall they cover the entire atrium, planting tropical plants unsuitable for the climate.

中庭裡的種植。兩三棵柑橘或檸檬種在地坪留出的方形土穴裡,牆角是攀爬的茉莉與大馬士革玫瑰,一側有葡萄藤爬上木架形成陰影。植物的數量不多但有香氣,樹冠高度不超過二層。避免:把中庭種滿成為花園、使用需要大量灌溉的草坪、樹木高到遮住整個天井、種植與氣候不符的熱帶植物。
