Sometimes in small spaces you can't afford the luxury and space for a rainwater tank. In this episode, Brendan tackles two tiny and very different gardens and proves that you can have a climate friendly water efficient garden whatever the size of your outdoor space.
Do you have any information on the 'Garden Angel', re: price and availability? What a fantastic idea! I've never been confident with just dumping untreated grey water on my garden (all the chemicals, salts, etc- they're eventually going to build up & have a detrimental effect), and this is the best way I've seen to get around it. I want one!!
would love to know more about the grey water unit, and why oh why wont you come on down to Melbourne!?! If ever you decide to come down here and need a major project... CALL ME!
Loved the garden, especially the bromeliads wall. What do the plants sit in othjer than the wire wall???

I should like to know the name and supply details of the grey water recycling unit if possible please.
Amazing and very inspirational to see what Brendan has done to such a small space
loved the design of the bromeliads but always thought they had to be watered from the top, so looking at this it looks like the water won't stay in the vaseas, so how would this work
Brilliant! What was used as the nutritional substrate for the bromeliads?
LOVED .... LOVED ... LOVED the Dog Kennel ..... WHAT a BRILLANT idea ..
Where can we get the Bluestone pavers used in the Paddington rewnovation?
great, would like to know more about the grey water system mentioned in this programe
I've been waiting for this design, I'm glad you did 2 places in the one show. I have a courthouse garden, which is 6m x 9m x 3m x 3m x3m x 6m .... I love the use of mirrors, but I was wondering about the drainage.... with the town house. If it is all tiled - I does it drain? I couldn't see where the drainage was ... we have 3mx 6m that is uneven concert .. that pools .. and I want to extend out and put sandstone slabs like the first small place.... but worry about the drainage. Does the sandstone soak up water? or with leaving gaps does that let the water drain away also?
Thought both gardens were well designed and catered to the needs of the owners. Loved the storage boxes and the seat/dog kennel. Perhaps we (the viewers) could have some information on materials that were used in the construction also what type of fabric was used in the photographic outdoor mural of the forest.
Great designs, suited the owners perfectly.
One small problem, can't see the plants for the Erskineville garden on the fact sheet.
For me this was the best show so far as it shows what you can do with a small space. Loved the storage units and the grey water unit too. Could you be able to tell me the store that Brendan bought the old Iron gate and light pole from please.
Great idea of making the storage furniture "movable " giving you the opportunity of minor adjustment in a small well designed space too bad you couldn't transform that ....mongrel poplar tree..... both gardens captured the owners characters in the end, great transformations...Alan
Brendon made two small gardens into two gardens with alot to offer.The dog kennel inside the chair was another of Brendon's cutting edge idea,s that was functional and qurky. The bromeliads cage and the cage with the photo are ideas that really made that garden. I think he was able to give the clients a backyard with character when there was a small space with nothing before.Another awesome garden design.
