I thought the trees were changing as well, read something on-line the other day, about these "supposed" surprise visits with home/garden programmes, so I dont think they are as "instant" as they make out!
Actually there was a series a few years ago where they did go back and revisit gardens. I think it was Alan Titchmarsh although I could be wrong. It was interesting to see the difference from the original gardens. Some had changed dramatically because the owners found the original design to be impractical for one reason or another.

The 'Garden Rescue' gardens certainly aren't produced in a single day, and they obviously aren't surprise gardens either given that the owners chooses the design. One recently had a lot of hard landscaping with walls etc and different levels. Concrete and brickwork would need time to set properly before filling the raised bed.
The gardens in the current Alan Titchmarsh series aren't produced in a single day either, irrespective of what the programme makers may imply.
I think it would be brilliant to see what people do with their 'designer gardens' as there is nothing like living in a garden for knowing how to organise it - mostly Maybe the 'clients' don't want us back!
As for a 'surprise visit' and 'instant garden' how long does it take for a tree to go from bare to fully clothed?

"The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it." Sir Terry Pratchett
Just watched one this morning. When the planting was being done, one of the boys was showing a rambling rose he was about to plant and said the buds were just forming. At the 'reveal' the first shot was of the rose in full flower. That poor couple, having to walk around with their eyes closed for all those weeks so that the garden would be a surprise when Charlie showed it them!!
Completely don't understand why they don't do it in real time. Anyone new to gardening might find the ping pong seasons a bit confusing but in sequence it would be a 'real' garden programme. It feels odd too, even though it is getting harder to remember what a proper summer feels like

Would be interesting to see them say a year down the line.
