Our porch outside!

I really would like to decorate the patio that we have here. Its an enclosed area and I would like to have some privacy, so I was thinking of buying a fig tree or two to add some privacy, but I will need to speak with my landlord and see what is allowed here. Since the housing association is strict here, I do not want to overstep my boundaries. So I will ask him what I can have outside and what cannot be out there. Right now we have a table, swing and dirt. Pretty boring!!!
