A SMALL garden filled great DIY garden design & ideas | Behind the Garden Gate

This inspirational small garden is filled with flowers - by the end of the video it will have you wanting to grow more flowers no matter how small your garden is! It's a garden filled with DIY garden design ideas and inspiration. Over the past 12 to 18 months, the owners have transformed their garden into an incredible flower garden, filled with a diverse array of blooms, including over 130 dahlia in flower!
Join Chloe from Bean There Dug That as she takes you on a tour behind the garden gate of this stunning property in the Eastern suburbs of Melbourne. This flower garden is a stunning showcase of DIY gardening in Australia! And perhaps it contains the garden answers on how we CAN fill our suburban spaces with more flowers for the bees and beneficial pollinators 🐝
If you've been looking for inspiration on how you add more flowers into your garden then this video might just contain the ideas and garden answer you're looking for! From cosmos buzzing with bees to fragrant dahlias and edible delights, this garden is a true labor of love. Despite facing challenges like drainage issues and shallow soil, the owners have created a lush oasis that's both visually stunning and functional.
Discover how dense planting helps to outcompete weeds and create a jungle-like ambiance, and learn the benefits of container gardening for dahlia enthusiasts. We check out some of their own bred dahlias and a fragrant dahlia - I didn't even know there were dahlias with flowers that smelt! With DIY design and planting by the owners themselves, this garden is constantly evolving, offering new surprises at every turn.
Step into the backyard to find a berry bonanza, complete with raspberries, blueberries, and thornless blackberries, alongside a cozy outdoor dining space and a sweet little pond fish. The pool and decking space might not yet be finished - perhaps I should come back to see the space when they are? - but it's still a beautifully relaxing garden.
Whether you're a seasoned gardener or just starting out, this video is sure to inspire you to roll up your sleeves and get gardening! Share your favorite flowers or parts of the garden in the comments below, and don't forget to like and subscribe for more garden tours.

You have such a nice calmness as you walk through these gardens. Thank you

[@BeanThereDugThat]

Why thank you! I’m glad you find them so relaxing ☺️

[@onechristianwallace]

The dahlias look amazing

[@BeanThereDugThat]

Don’t they! And so many in such a small garden space 🥰

[@MegaHeptic]

Love every episode you share. Thank you to the BTDT team and all the beautiful gardens and their owners for inspiring us to get out in our own gardens to dream and imagine future pjects ❤

[@BeanThereDugThat]

So nice of you to say - thank you so much ☺️

[@lorrainel2314]

That’s a great garden. I love a planted out front yard.

[@BeanThereDugThat]

So nice to have. Beautiful garden from the street isn’t it 🌸🥰

[@daisyd2392]

Such joyful colour. Delightful. My fav was the unnamed dahlia ❤

[@BeanThereDugThat]

It’s a keeper isn’t it! The owners tell me it’s going to be named this coming season hopefully 🥰

[@Adam-vr5qn]

I'm really enjoying you YT channel. So much inspiration and ideas. Well done and keep going. 👏

[@liv4wkn632]

What a lovely garden, and to think it’s not even done yet. Here’s hoping you’re invited back for another visit when it’s all completed. I’m sure it’ll be even more amazing. 👩🏻‍🌾💚🪴

[@BeanThereDugThat]

Thanks for watching - I’d def like to revisit this garden in a few years.

[@haniyehchuhdhri6448]

What a fantastic garden! Full of amazing inspiration ❤🌷🪻🌼! Could you also please include a bit more info about watering/irrigation of gardens like these?

[@BeanThereDugThat]

Thanks for your feedback and that’s a great suggestion. There was some drip irrigation that I could spot but then the pots would have been hand watered I presume. I’ll make sure to talk about it in future videos though 👍🏻

[@clregarganis612]

So pretty my dahlia’s weren’ very happy this year 1st year hope I have better luck next year

[@BeanThereDugThat]

Oh no Clare - that’s a shame re your dahlias! Hopefully they have a better second year. Keep the K rich fertiliser up to them after shoots are up and did you pinch them out? Thanks for watching 🥰
