Your garden made perfect

[MichaelAndEagle]

Don't think anyone else has started a thread.
I didn't realise it was starting again but its on tonight BBC 2.
I'm watching on catch up now. Anyone else?

What time is it on

Started at 8.

Watching. Why have they put the stone cages like they have along side motorways on the smaller project????

Damn it missed it

I'm watching on I player, I'm about 20 minutes in.

Just seen the first design.

£32k for the garden

As soon as someone said that beautiful flowering apple tree would have to go I switched off. It was about the only thing worth keeping.

Philistines.

I did a garden design course at college some years ago and it pains me to watch these programmes sometimes.

The plan was to keep it and move it in the design she chose, but I haven't seen the reveal yet.
I think she just really wanted to get rid of anything her ex husband liked!!!

I thought it looked more like an outdoor cafe than a garden in the end. But perhaps that suits her yoga class idea

It was ok. But I thought it was alright before really! I usually do!

I liked the caravan garden revamp.

I wouldn't have chosen Pips's design - I thought the way outdoor lighting was used in the other was lovely. Does anyone know what those huge white globular flowers were, in the professional yoga/hippy garden they visited? sort of hydrangea? I'll have to watch again and freeze the screen!

I didn’t like it much, but I really like plants and gardens and this was basically hard landscaping.

@LadyAddle I think maybe hydrangea Annabelle?

Looked like a preschool on the end. I like gardens to have, you know, plants?

@Didiusfalco Thank you very much - I've looked on RHS and I'm sure you're right. They did look spectacular en masse, I wish I had a bigger garden.

Thought the transformation was a bit meh . The base they used for planning the gardens was at Sculpture by the Lakes near Dorchester , if anyone is down this way it's really worth a visit , the sculptures fitted around the lakes are beautiful. I liked the caravan garden , gabions are having a bit of a moment aren't they.

The caravan garden transformation was so much better than the £32k transformation. Just thinking about re-sellability, who on earth would want a garden with pink and blue striped flooring. Was very disappointing

The budget gardens are often better for some reason. The big budget gardens tend to be a disappointment

Agree. And more relatable, I mean who has 30k to spend on a garden??

I'm probably being naive but I don't understand why it cost so much. £32?! Also disappointed that it never seems to be about the plants

Oh, yes, the cheaper makeover was so much more effective. I couldn't believe anyone would spend £32k to make it look like a youth club. Seriously, it just needed some rethinking about the wobbly flagstones and painting the outbuildings. That apple tree

Is it because they pay the designer for their design do you think?

about £10k materials max probably more like £5k so someone has done ok out of it !
