This garden, located in Bright, an alpine town three hours from Melbourne, highlights the beauty of autumn foliage with 130-year-old elm trees in the front yard. Join me, Chloe from Bean There Dug That, as we explore the formal yet fun elements of this enchanting garden. In this picturesque garden, autumn starts early and the trick to an incredible autumnal display is to have different species of trees that change their leaves at various times, showcasing a spectrum of autumn colours. The low clipped hedges throughout the front and back gardens add a formal touch, enhancing the garden's elegant design. Nine years ago, Christine started to transform this property, adding various plants and sculptures. The deep shade under the elms necessitated hardy plants like lomandras, which thrive even in dry shade. Christine also added whimsical elements like a fairy garden, making the space playful and engaging. The front yard, with its formal yet cottage-style elements, complements the charming house and wide verandah. Christine designed the backyard to create distinct rooms and spaces, offering different perspectives from the balcony and throughout the garden. The back deck is a prime spot to enjoy the garden and the north-facing sunshine in autumn and winter. Christine's efforts in transforming the garden are evident in the variety of plants, including euphorbia, roses, clematis, and loropetalum. A highlight is the Cercis 'Forest Pansy', which offers stunning autumn colours and gorgeous spring blossoms. The garden features numerous seating areas, providing cool, quiet retreats compared to the more exposed front yard. The flat lawn space in the backyard is dotted with eclectic plantings, reflecting Christine's love for diverse plant species. Despite the challenges of shade from growing trees, she has managed to create a productive herb and citrus garden. Christine's composting system efficiently handles the fallen leaves, turning them into rich compost to nourish the garden. The quirky elements throughout the garden, like the "Grandma's Garden" sign and playful features, make it an engaging space for children and adults alike. A beautiful gingko tree, one of the last to change colour in autumn, and a dark green magnolia frame a cosy fire pit seating area. Christine designed and planted the garden herself, creating inviting spaces that encourage movement and exploration. Circular sculptures and garden beds add cohesion, while the formal avenue leads back to the house. In the shady areas, giant photinia hedges protect the ground from the northern sun, supporting a lovely collection of shade-loving plants. Fatsia, podophyllum 'Spotty Dotty', and lamium brighten these areas with their unique foliage. This garden bed is a perfect example of year-round foliage colour, featuring red foliage plants like coprosma, and loropetalum. I've loved the mix of formal and whimsical elements in this garden, and I hope it inspires you to try something similar in your own space. Let me know which part of this garden inspired you the most.

Welcome to this garden tour of Oak Cottage garden, who's garden design is by the talented Tim Pilgrim. Situated in Macedon, just an hour northwest of Melbourne, nestled beneath a 100-year-old oak tree, this garden offers a perfect blend of contemporary garden design ideas and traditional charm, with seasonal planting ideas for year round beauty. Join me, Chloe from Bean There Dug That, as we explore this enchanting autumn garden and see how it has transformed over the past year. This garden, planted only a year ago, has matured beautifully, showcasing vibrant autumnal colours. The sunken garden space, enhanced by staggered plantings, invites you to explore its depths, offering a tranquil escape. The garden's design thoughtfully incorporates the existing 100-year-old oak tree, creating a unique blend of history and modernity. Tim Pilgrim's expertise is evident in every corner, from the dead seed heads adding texture to the neatly clipped westringias. As we wander through the garden, you'll notice the clever use of recycled sleepers to create a retaining wall around the fire pit area, adding both functionality and charm. The garden's cool colour palette, mixed with silvers and the texture of grasses, creates a relaxing and calming environment. The Willow-Leaved Pears, often mistaken for olive trees, add a distinctive touch with their curled leaves. One of the highlights of this garden is the seamless integration of various plant species to create a dynamic and ever-changing landscape. The oak tree's shade creates a microclimate, presenting both challenges and opportunities. Despite losing a few plants over the past year, the garden thrives with hellebores, ferns, liriopes, and the beautiful oakleaf hydrangea. The front entrance, with its contemporary cottage garden surrounding a traditional cottage, sets a picture-perfect scene. The use of box hedges right up against the house connects the garden and the house, creating a unified and harmonious space. The Seaside Daisy borders add a tough, drought-tolerant edge that requires minimal maintenance. Moving to the backyard, we find a spacious lawn perfect for the family's dog to run around, veggie beds for homegrown produce, and a charming potting shed. The removal of a large water tank has opened up the space for Virginia's dream of a beautiful glasshouse. The espaliered apples along the fence promise a productive addition to the garden once they mature. Virginia, having lived most of her life in a warmer climate, relied on Tim Pilgrim's expertise to create a garden that not only fits the cottage's era but also thrives in the cooler Macedon climate. The repetition of silvery plants like Seaside Daisies, Lambs Ear, and cat mint from the front yard to the backyard ties the spaces together, despite their current differences. As we conclude our tour, it's clear that this garden is more than just a visual delight; it's a year-round retreat that changes with the seasons. In winter, when the deciduous trees shed their leaves, the garden will still offer beauty with its grasses and perennials ready to burst back to life in spring. This garden truly belongs on the cover of a magazine, and it inspires us to consider the seasonal changes and plant varieties that offer beauty throughout the year. 📣 We’d love to hear your favourite features of this garden.

It's a suburban family garden, designed for outdoor entertaining, complete with a pool, beautiful pool landscaping, a fire pit space, and a small lush lawn space. This backyard is the perfect example of gardening in Australia for the whole family to enjoy - including teenagers! Designed by Paul Pritchard Landscapes, this garden uses clever garden design and different paving options to create different zones that define the space. Whether you're lounging by the pool or gathering around the fire pit, every area feels connected while still offering its own unique vibe. The pool landscaping ties in with the rest of the garden, but also features the clever use of the narrow garden bed between the pool and fence. In this narrow garden bed the pool side plants include mandevilla vines that are being trained up wires to soften the dark fence. This clever pool design and pool landscaping ideas connect the pool with the rest of the garden space, rather than making it stick out! Raised veggie beds with corten steel edging add a functional yet stylish touch to one corner of the garden, while a mix of native and exotic plants throughout the garden brings year-round interest through varied foliage textures. You'll also love the recycled brick seating & firepit area — hand-cleaned and repurposed from the original house renovation — which ties the whole garden together with their rustic charm. And let’s not forget the standout timber and copper pool fence, a beautiful contrast to the surrounding greenery. This garden shows how thoughtful design can turn any space into the perfect spot for outdoor entertaining. 📣 We’d love to hear your favourite features of this garden. Share in the comments below.

Join Chloe from Bean There Dug That, as you to explore this hidden gem tucked away next to a beautiful parkland. Despite its modest 67 square meter size and tricky sloping terrain, this small courtyard garden is a testament to creatively gardening in Australia with some clever innovations in landscaping design. Nestled in the inner eastern suburbs of Melbourne, this garden showcases great garden design techniques that strike a balance between privacy and connectivity with the surrounding parkland. From the lush groundcovers like dichondra, pratia, and native violets softening the edges of the rock to the strategic placement of tall-growing plants for added privacy, every aspect of this garden has been meticulously planned and executed. The focal point of the garden is a stunning kidney-shaped deck that not only conceals an operational drain but also serves as a functional and inviting outdoor space. Engineered with precision, the slatted fence offers privacy from the road while maintaining a visual connection to the parkland beyond, thanks to its angled design. Alongside the deck, a beautiful curved rammed earth wall provides seating and adds a touch of natural elegance to the space. Complemented by low-maintenance composite decking and carefully selected plantings, this garden is a harmonious blend of form and function. As you wander through this small green oasis, you'll discover citrus trees thriving in the narrowest part of the garden, clever lighting solutions that extend usability into the evening, and even a discreet clothesline that seamlessly integrates into the design.
