Hmm can't say I'm overly impressed, every garden seems to be Mediterranean influenced so far & is left looking somewhat incomplete although maybe they are just trying to show accurate budget expenditure. Prefer Love Your Garden & even better Big Dreams, Small Spaces.
Oh heck, thought these were repeats so haven't been recording. Charlie's great. Felt particularly for her after she lost some of her family in the 2004 Boxing DayTsunami.
Think I read that charlie has Arthritis , she certainly isn't as spritely as she was . I am enjoying the programmes , but i do agree that they are a bit unfinished
Hi me & my husband had a blank canvas garden it was just grass & a few thin borders, we transformed it into a beautiful relaxing low maintenance garden, it is now another room to our home, we love it, alot of people have said it looks like a show garden, were extremely proud of it & would love it to be shown on garden rescue.

Personally, the make overs on GR seem very poor in quality of the completed works. I know they are limited by the budget offered by the client, but compared to Grounf Force, the gardens appear half completed. My frustration is that they never seem bothered with replace a worn out lawn or painting a fence to give the work a quality finish. As I have stated on here, the clients don't seem to be getting value for money on that programme
I thought it strange that in the last one, with young kids, they both went for horizontal fencing over a 6 ft drop! Don't they realise that kids would climb it? better to have put in vertical fencing - much safer.
And in possibly the same one, they put in 4 silver birch trees in a tiny garden. did they not think they would grow to 60+ feet? I know there are some smaller birch varieties but at only £60 each for a 12ft tree I reckon they were the 'wild' variety.

Yes - but as you've already done it, it won't be! It's a makeover show - they don't want gardens that have already been changed
I was under the impression these were repeats Daisy. It has 'repeat' beside the info on my tv guide.
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
