Chelsea Flower Show! Blooming with Ideas and Inspiration | My Tiny Estate

We’re invited to the Chelsea Flower Show in London and are bringing you along! It’s the world’s most prestigious garden show. With hundreds of garden designs and floral displays -- we always come away with new ideas and inspiration. Even more extraordinary is that none of the garden displays previously existed and the designers have only two weeks to put them together!
It’s also a good time to reflect on some of the decisions we’ve made with our own gardens and the lessons learned from trial and error. Remember those daffodils we planted in the Dower House orchard? When they finally bloomed -- we were in for a big surprise!

So much more random + natural all the different daffodils ❣️

I love how excited Borja is about gardening!

[@mytinyestate]

I know!! He does get super excited!

[@altheaaurielrishworth6349]

There’s also beauty in the imperfect. 😊

[@mytinyestate]

Very true!

[@Deaanl1]

I love a moon garden... I'm all white all the way. However, for the orchard I'm 1000% on the "have a wild look" band wagon. Go crazy and have a mix of bulbs and colours all the way

[@ellenmadsen7308]

Oh come on, get over the daffodils! They are lovely.

[@mytinyestate]

They are!

[@deltonabf]

Dear boys- I too want to say you are starting a family. You will be the best dads! Oh, wait… Is there a wedding first? I really want you to finish more of your big projects and then get a thorough rest before that baby insanity starts! Maybe another season on the TV? Whatever it is best wishes for continued success. ❤️❤️

[@JHack822]

Well stated!

[@mytinyestate]

That is a guess 😂😘

[@sunnyw4148]

Found you recently and am really enjoying going back and watching previous episodes. Great how active your family is in helping. Yes somebody's mom does steal the show.

I love how Dean is all cool calm and collected and Borja is jumping out of his skin with excitement. Only slightly jealous that you guys were at Chelsea and I wasn’t ( insert huge sigh here)

So nice of you❤️

[@Andrew-po7nl]

So I heard the reason you want to have like additional flowers by your fruit trees is that they tend to have higher nectar content later in the day, so to keep the bee around you want to plant other types of flowers. I read allium is a good companion plant. I tried planting these, then my apple tree died. :-(

[@mytinyestate]

Oh nooooo how frustrating, I wonder why that is? I mean we are just going with the flow so let’s hope that doesn’t happen to ours

Press day is probably the only day to visit Chelsea (unless you go at the crack of dawn) - we were so disappointed when we went last by how busy it was, you couldn't properly see the show gardens and it was chaotically busy.

[@mytinyestate]

Honestly yes, we are very fortunate to be invited on press day, but we were there for a second day and you are right we had to queue to see the actual gardens

[@giovannamiorino4402]

Haven't got the foggiest but hope it takes some of the stress away :)

I love the mix of daffodils! Melbourne flower show is a close second!

I must add that one of our bucket list!

[@Annie-vz1yl]

Nature is never uniform, dear Dean! Just enjoy😂❤️

[@mytinyestate]

Haha he is learning slowly 😂

[@ClareCC0902]

Seeing London made me miss it and I’ve only been gone 4 months but I still love South Africa! I have no idea what the surprise is - I’ll have to wait until next week!

[@mytinyestate]

London is something special! Dean always has enough do the city in a day! I must admit that I prefer the quite countryside but love the energy that London exudes

[@prl08]

I love that you guys keep the gardens simple like your designs inside. Having a lot of the same flower makes such a huge impact. I bought my house last year and this year I’m finally getting to my garden. Thankfully my aunt is an expert because I have no idea what I’m doing and I have no patience so I want everything to look pretty and full immediately! 😂😂

[@mytinyestate]

Definitely! I mean if it was me for the first year I would plant a lot of cosmos which you can get a packet of seeds for £3 and you will get hundreds of plants with lots of flowers that you can pick the whole summer and slowly be planning for next year! But you have your aunt so she can definitely help!

[@prl08]

@@mytinyestate thanks for the tip!! I love having fresh cut flowers around the house so I’m always looking for ones that I can pick

[@freedomofreligion3248]

It's so funny I have to turn on Captions to catch enough of your words to comprehend what you're saying. I get an F in auditory processing today. Let me guess: Is one of you Italian? (The obvious one😂) Ahhh, SPANISH! I'm so provincial.

[@mytinyestate]

Hahaha yes Spanish

[@katherinegreenfield838]

I love the multi colored daffodils. You do need to leave the daffodil leaves so that they will make food for blooms next year. Makes a good excuse to now mow for a while. 😂

[@Keepthepeacesharethelove]

You could or maybe even should install one or several very big underground rainwater storages. With filters you can use the rainwater not only for the garden.

[@mytinyestate]

For sure!! We are planning on that 😊

[@kvk745]

We've caught up on (and in!) watching your videos here and - surprise - we love them so much! They are so inspiring! We are just wondering when on earth you are doing the editing on top of everything else you do... Can't wait to find out what the big news will be. My optimistic guess is portico-related: the historic monuments protetction authority (or what ever they are called) have finally realised what an amazing job you are doing and have provided you with an enormous grant to realise all the work you want to do! 🙂

[@mytinyestate]

Thank you so much!! I mean that would have been just amazing! We will share in a couple of days! 😊😊 We can’t take the credit for the editing, we have the fantastic team of editors that we had for the tv show putting all the videos that we record together ☺️😊 we couldn’t do it without them x

Yay! I am so excited you filmed your visit! Clever editing - the segues between products and ideas from the show and implemented in your garden!!! btw is that a robot mower in the orchard?

Let me guess… you’re moving into the Dowager house!…. Love that you are doing this channel…. The gardens are so amazing! Didn’t realize how huge the dowager garden is!👍👏👍👏👍

[@daisychristobelox]

I’ve just binged all episodes and sad that I am now caught up! Excited to see what’s next 😊 I too, like Borja, had my mum round today helping me in our garden. We’ve just moved house and the garden is JUST grass. A nice blank canvas, but it’s going to be a job to fill it!!! 🌷 🪴 🏡

[@mytinyestate]

Thanks for watching! A blank canvas is very exciting! Get a lot of cuttings to build up your stock ☺️

[@clarebowers4060]

What a great video; I have never been to the Chelsea Flower Show, so your video showed detail that is not normally seen... so calming too! Dean, I too feel you anxiousness about London... so many people... And leaving me on a cliff hanger guessing your next project; I cannot guess any one thing, you both are so talented, and adventurous... Until next week, have fun ! xx

[@mytinyestate]

Glad you enjoyed it! Yes there was sooo many people! I much prefer quiet areas 😂

A large corporate sponsor and they will complete the house restoration for you??? Nice episode this week, thank you.

[@mytinyestate]

Wow the dream 😍😂

[@bbithica26]

Beautiful field of tulips … Your hard work shows ❤ For Dean and your critical eye, when you spot a flower that is different in colour or shape consider creating a new verity as apposed to dismissing it. Our plant world can only expand when we take care of the unique (Breeding a new variety is also a great form of addition income... you could name it “Borja’s Delights”)

[@mytinyestate]

Well I love the name! Although many people would be able to pronounce it 😂

Would love to see a comparison picture of what your individual garden spaces looked like before before you then show the current setup. Although i've been following you on insta, i have the memory of a goldfish....

[@mytinyestate]

Thats a great idea! We can do an episode all about the before befores even if there are pictures and what they look now 🙏🏼🙌🏼

[@margueritechristopher8549]

If you let the leaves dry out in place it gives food to the bulb and they will multiply!

[@mytinyestate]

Totally! It was a mistake we did but we are not touching the ones on the orchard ☺️

[@gayleraven1559]

I love all the work you do and you both have great taste in design and gardening. The only time I wanted to give you a slap was when you got anal about the different colour of daffodils. I was watching and the first thing that came out of my mouth was, "are you kidding me?" I'm so happy that you have come around from that and have embraced the beauty.😊

[@mytinyestate]

Thanks! And made us laugh design is a process for sure we continue to learn and adapt

[@JohnMCano]

Another great episode! My partner and I binged the series this week and are all caught up on your KZbin series now. Love watching your renovations and your great chemistry. My guess: you’re hiring some help for videography and production so you can showcase more. I can’t imagine how difficult it is to try to do the work, and capture it, and then edit it.

[@mytinyestate]

You can transplant them with the leaves on !!

I think your bulbs will survive but, they may not bloom next year. If you allow them a year to recover (and don't cut their leaves off), they will bloom well the following year.
