- Join me for a garden tour of DIY gardener & plant lover, Steven Wells' small garden. His DIY small garden design ideas are incredible and they'll leave you so inspired on what you can achieve in small backyard! This great garden design celebrates small spaces, the importance of gardening as a form of restoration and the shear joy of gardening in Australia.
Stepping behind the garden gate of this small garden, you'll find yourself in a botanical haven that transcends the ordinary. Steven Wells, the mastermind behind this green oasis, has carefully designed a private front garden that serves as a prelude to the rest of the clever small garden design ideas within.
This garden, a testament to Steven's creative skills, unfolds as a captivating journey rather than a mere destination. As you walk the meandering paths, it becomes evident that this is not a space dominated by flamboyant blooms; instead, it's an exploration of foliage and form. The carefully chosen (mostly) evergreen plants serve a dual purpose, ensuring visual appeal year-round and fostering a sense of seclusion and privacy.
Vertical growing spaces are used heavily in this garden. Walls are strategically positioned for privacy, double as canvases for more greenery including bromeliads, agave, spider plants and donkey tails. Mirrors are strategically placed to create a trompe l'oeil effect, adding a touch of illusionary grandeur to the compact space.
Repurposed fryer baskets become unconventional yet aesthetically pleasing plant pockets. The slope of the terrain is embraced, transforming the garden into a miniature rainforest, an unexpected surprise at every turn.
Diverse garden rooms reveal themselves as you meander through this small garden - shaded retreats adorned with clivias, elevated decks perfect for lazy summer days or hosting a winter fire pit. A the playful addition of a slide is a load of fun for ALL ages!
The outdoor dining space includes strategically placed maples in oversized pots, crushed rock underfoot and more timber walls that are adorned with pots. This wall also hides the garden shed space, behind a very beautiful door.
Since 2005 when Steven bought this property - the garden has transformed from a dusty, life-less space to a lush and private garden space. Which was your favourite spot? Let me know in the comments, and don't forget to like and subscribe for more inspiring garden tours! 🌻

What a gorgeous garden.
Isn't it just beautiful! Thanks for watching :-)
I live in Southern California and this is my dream garden. Thank you for the inspiration!!! I saved this and will rewatch it over and over. My favorite part in his garden was all the paths that lead to the different levels. I can definitely repeat this style here, but I needed some vision. Oh yes and I loved the slide down to get from one area to another!!!! Thank you again!!!❤
Love that his style and ideas translate to your garden space in the USA 🇺🇸
Fantastic creation of spaces and zones. And the green walls and screening for privacy are great.
So clever isn’t it! Thanks for watching
That garden is amazing and very inspiring. The red pod is definitely my favorite feature of the garden. I'm already trying to find out where it would fit into my garden 😉😂 Thank you very much for sharing. I just found your channel and subscribed to it and I'm looking forward to watch more of your videos. Greetings Heidi 👩🌾💕

I absolutely adore Stevens Garden ❤ I love it all, so hard to choose just 1 favourite part! It’s sheer therapeutic genius 🤓
Sooooo hard to choose a fav spot isn’t it!!! I can’t decide either - don’t worry 😉
What a treat to 'wander with you' through this beautiful garden. Thank you! I'm recovering from a cold in Southern England and this has made my day. We lived in Sydney in the late 80's/90's so Australia is such a special place for us. I am a very keen gardener so it's fascinating to see how gardens vary around the world. Thank you so much for sharing this and well done Steven!

Very nice, thank you. Love all the seating and relaxing areas.
The beautiful and comfy seating areas have been a particular inspiration after this visit - and I’m not in full swing installing a comfy seating spot in my fav corner of our backyard. Isn’t it amazing how we can take inspiration from gardens - even if we’ve visited them many times before! Thanks for watching 🤩

Sooo clever , every corner is full of ideas

Thanks. Do you know if the garden is part of an Open Garden Scheme ? It's a great upload , but it would be fabulous to take a lazy, close up tour. A good mental bask into the details .
Steven has opened with Open Gardens Victoria in the past - I’m not sure if he’s plans to do it again. But guess is never, say never! Feel free to pop over and ask him / encourage him via his Instagram account 😉 @stevenwellsthegardener
Thanks, I did follow him on Insta after your upload.
Очень интересный сад с множеством идей. Благодарю за обзор. У меня на канале в моём саду в г. Пятигорске, Россия тоже есть похожая комната с горшечным садиком. Заходите и в мой сад.
A very interesting garden with lots of ideas. Thanks for the review. On my channel in my garden in Pyatigorsk, Russia, I also have a similar room with a potted garden. Come into my garden too.
Thanks - will do
Red Pod
Sooooo clever isn’t it!!
Love all the rooms and functions into a small garden. How does he water all the pots??!
The whole garden is hand watered 👍🏻
Thank you. Do you know what direction the red pod wall faces?
