With her can-do attitude,

0:00:020:00:03

-love of simple gardens and decades of experience...

-Hello!

0:00:030:00:07

..Charlie Dimmock is one of Britain's best-loved gardeners.

0:00:070:00:10

Looking good, boys.

0:00:100:00:12

But the new kids on the gardening block are the Rich brothers.

0:00:120:00:15

We want to be the brothers that change people's perceptions of gardeners.

0:00:150:00:19

Winners of multiple medals at the Chelsea Flower Show...

0:00:190:00:22

-Wow!

-Get in.

-It's amazing.

0:00:220:00:24

..the boys have become known for their dramatic outdoor spaces.

0:00:240:00:27

APPLAUSE

0:00:270:00:30

Now these two different generations of gardening are going head-to-head.

0:00:300:00:34

I know they've got a gold medal, but I can come up with a few ideas.

0:00:340:00:38

They're meeting frustrated garden owners across the country...

0:00:380:00:42

The photos made it look tiny. It is, isn't it?

0:00:420:00:45

-I'm sure you've seen larger.

-I don't know what to do with it.

0:00:450:00:48

..and will each pitch them a design based on their needs and budget.

0:00:480:00:53

That looks really exciting.

0:00:530:00:54

It doesn't look like it could be our garden.

0:00:540:00:56

-The winner...

-Hey!

-Ta-da!

0:00:560:01:00

..brings their design to life.

0:01:000:01:02

-Hold on, hold on!

-Sweet as a nut.

0:01:020:01:04

And the loser has to help them build it.

0:01:040:01:07

I'm getting irritated now with faffing around.

0:01:070:01:10

This is what happens...

0:01:100:01:12

-Does he ever get irritating?

-All the time.

0:01:120:01:14

..when different styles collide...

0:01:140:01:16

-Who chose these?

-One, two, three.

0:01:160:01:18

-This looks like your design.

-Yeah.

0:01:190:01:22

..to turn garden dreams into reality.

0:01:220:01:25

-Wow!

-Open your eyes.

-Whoa!

-It's amazing.

-It's beautiful.

0:01:250:01:31

It's time for Charlie and the Rich brothers to discover whose

0:01:380:01:42

garden they're fighting over this time.

0:01:420:01:44

Andrea and Gary have sent these photos through.

0:01:440:01:47

Gary was in the Army for 15 years.

0:01:470:01:49

For seven years they moved about and moved to five different houses.

0:01:490:01:52

-Oh, wow.

-So, for the first time ever, they've got their own little plot.

0:01:520:01:56

After a long career in the Forces,

0:01:590:02:02

Gary, his wife Andrea and their three-year-old son Norman

0:02:020:02:05

finally have a house and garden they can call their own.

0:02:050:02:08

With the Army quarters you couldn't change the decoration or do

0:02:100:02:14

anything with the garden or do anything, really.

0:02:140:02:17

It had to be all plain and how you found it is how you needed to leave it.

0:02:170:02:21

And moving into our first very own home,

0:02:230:02:27

I can't...I haven't got words to describe it, really.

0:02:270:02:32

They must be really excited about actually having their own garden

0:02:320:02:35

that they can do some gardening in.

0:02:350:02:37

Yeah, I think we've waited a long time as a family to have

0:02:370:02:40

their own space, and this is the right time, and we're the right people.

0:02:400:02:43

So we've got to create something special.

0:02:430:02:46

Since moving in, they've been concentrating on doing up the house,

0:02:470:02:51

but now it's the garden's turn.

0:02:510:02:55

But it's a mess.

0:02:550:02:57

Having a three-year-old and three dogs trampling on it

0:02:570:02:59

has done nothing for the lawn, and aside from a broken shed,

0:02:590:03:03

there isn't much to catch the eye.

0:03:030:03:05

The garden space is all very plain,

0:03:070:03:09

and we're not really doing anything with it, really.

0:03:090:03:12

We're both lovers of outdoor and nature, and it would be lovely

0:03:140:03:19

to be able to look out your window and see lots of trees and flowers.

0:03:190:03:23

But we're just struggling with the whole design bit.

0:03:230:03:26

We've kind of got ideas in our head but just can't quite work out

0:03:260:03:30

where to put the right plants in the right places.

0:03:300:03:33

It's quite sterile, though. Hedge, shrub, lawn.

0:03:350:03:39

Yeah, in essence it is another blank canvas.

0:03:390:03:42

With indoor renovation still to complete, Andrea and Gary only

0:03:420:03:46

have a limited budget to create the new flower-filled haven they crave.

0:03:460:03:51

The budget we've got is £1,500.

0:03:510:03:53

-It's not a tiny garden, it's not a large garden, is it?

-No.

0:03:530:03:58

-This one's going to take all our creativity, isn't it?

-I think so, yeah.

0:03:580:04:01

At seven by eight metres, this is a big garden to try to transform

0:04:030:04:07

for £1,500, but at least some of it looks salvageable.

0:04:070:04:11

Big patio area here, that looks reasonably all right.

0:04:110:04:13

Yeah, they did say they wanted to leave that.

0:04:130:04:15

It's quite functional, good for chairs and tables,

0:04:150:04:18

-so we've got this bit down the bottom.

-Pressure's on.

0:04:180:04:21

With a new life ahead of them in a new home,

0:04:230:04:26

all Andrea wants is a new garden to match.

0:04:260:04:30

I've got you, I've got you!

0:04:300:04:32

With the challenge on the table,

0:04:320:04:34

Charlie and the Rich brothers will now go head-to-head for the chance

0:04:340:04:37

to make over Andrea and Gary's garden.

0:04:370:04:40

So they're heading to Devizes to see the garden for themselves.

0:04:420:04:46

They're looking for ideas that might give them an advantage

0:04:460:04:50

when it comes to their design.

0:04:500:04:51

-Ah.

-Oh, wow. Nice.

0:04:570:05:00

-There's a good shape.

-Yeah, there's a great little plot.

-Beautiful size.

0:05:000:05:04

And have you got any ideas? Are you a gardener yourself?

0:05:040:05:07

-No, not really.

-Don't look so worried!

0:05:070:05:11

-No.

-What bits of the garden do you dislike at the moment?

0:05:110:05:16

-Well, I dislike that bit down there.

-The roof.

0:05:160:05:20

Where you can see the neighbour's roof.

0:05:200:05:23

I'd ideally quite like a big tree or something there for the birds to go in.

0:05:230:05:27

-Encourage wildlife.

-Yeah, definitely encourage wildlife.

0:05:270:05:30

It's what our garden wants to be all about.

0:05:300:05:33

And we want Norman to be at home with nature,

0:05:330:05:36

and to learn where his food comes from.

0:05:360:05:40

Growing vegetables.

0:05:400:05:41

To really stimulate Norman, get him experiencing things, growing his own.

0:05:410:05:45

Something he wants to do, him and his dad.

0:05:450:05:47

-HARRY:

-You can take it from the garden to the kitchen.

0:05:470:05:49

That kind of thing, yeah.

0:05:490:05:50

It needs to be dog friendly and family friendly.

0:05:500:05:53

-Social and family friendly.

-Practical.

0:05:530:05:56

Practical, yeah, very practical.

0:05:560:05:58

Andrea's shopping list is long, and it's all got to be done for £1,500.

0:06:000:06:04

That's a big ask.

0:06:040:06:06

But before they start, the boys want to take

0:06:070:06:09

a quick look at what the couple have done with the house.

0:06:090:06:13

They've got a country-farm feel, isn't it?

0:06:130:06:15

Quite cottagey, isn't it? Quite authentic, quite traditional.

0:06:150:06:18

-The materials, look at these here.

-They're beautiful.

0:06:180:06:21

Beautiful paving on the floor.

0:06:210:06:22

-You could see that in a garden, couldn't you?

-Yeah.

0:06:220:06:24

They want to see if there's anything about their taste that could be reflected in the garden.

0:06:240:06:29

Quite muted colour in here, isn't it?

0:06:290:06:30

The wallpaper, you've got that blue, a Himalayan poppy blue.

0:06:300:06:34

-Yeah.

-You could translate that into the planting nicely, couldn't you, I think.

0:06:340:06:37

And natural materials, I think, is key.

0:06:370:06:39

We don't want anything too modern, too contemporary.

0:06:390:06:41

-Really nice, traditional, would link nicely with this, wouldn't it?

-Yeah.

0:06:410:06:45

So, although you don't know your plants, do you want it minimal, or...?

0:06:450:06:51

No, I'd quite like lots and lots.

0:06:510:06:53

We would quite like lots and lots of plants and flowers, different colours.

0:06:530:06:58

-That's a nice dresser here, isn't it?

-Quite shabby-chic.

-It is.

0:06:590:07:03

I think we can look to tie that back with the garden,

0:07:030:07:05

maybe if they have little items we can upcycle them.

0:07:050:07:09

Andrea and Gary's love of nature is reflected in their taste and decor.

0:07:090:07:13

They will be looking for a rustic garden to match.

0:07:130:07:16

And would you use the garden a lot in the winter?

0:07:160:07:19

Yeah, we want it all year round. All weathers, really.

0:07:190:07:22

So, the rival designers get straight to work.

0:07:280:07:31

Each of them will come up with a design for Andrea, Gary and Norman

0:07:310:07:34

that will work within their £1,500 budget.

0:07:340:07:37

Andrea will then have to choose a winner, and whoever loses will

0:07:370:07:41

help the winner build the garden.

0:07:410:07:43

So, who will she go for?

0:07:480:07:51

Charlie is a kindred spirit when it comes to wildlife-friendly gardens.

0:07:510:07:56

This is a brief she is more than familiar with.

0:07:560:07:59

-Wow!

-OK.

0:08:000:08:02

But the boys are known for their contemporary designs,

0:08:020:08:04

so having seen Andrea's house,

0:08:040:08:07

can they come up with something special and upset the odds?

0:08:070:08:10

Here is our design.

0:08:100:08:12

It all comes down to this, the pitch.

0:08:130:08:15

So, we really wanted to stress on the point of what you guys do as a family together.

0:08:160:08:21

So we wanted to give you your own little patch of nature, but in your back garden.

0:08:210:08:25

Yeah.

0:08:250:08:26

-HARRY:

-One of the key elements of the design is something called

0:08:260:08:29

Norman's Meadow Rooms. These are two rooms set within this meadow.

0:08:290:08:32

It allows him to have two spaces, two different places to play.

0:08:320:08:35

So he can maybe set up a tent in there or something like that.

0:08:350:08:37

Yeah, sounds good.

0:08:370:08:38

I have gone down the route of dividing the garden,

0:08:380:08:42

so along here is like a picket fence with double gates here.

0:08:420:08:47

-Yeah.

-So if Norman's in here playing with his football,

0:08:470:08:50

you can have the dogs on the patio

0:08:500:08:53

-and they won't be whipping his football away.

-Yeah.

0:08:530:08:57

-I know you are keen on upcycling...

-Yeah.

0:08:570:09:00

So your timbers that you've got, the pallets and that,

0:09:000:09:04

I was going to use to make a potting bench,

0:09:040:09:07

because I can see that you're keen to learn about gardening...

0:09:070:09:10

Yeah, definitely.

0:09:100:09:11

And I'm sure Norman will love to be up there

0:09:110:09:14

digging, planting some seeds.

0:09:140:09:16

Both designers have kept family life at the centre of their designs.

0:09:180:09:23

However, Charlie knows that Andrea is a plant lover,

0:09:230:09:26

so is hoping her year-round scheme will win her over.

0:09:260:09:29

Plant-wise, I've gone very pretty, cottagey around here,

0:09:310:09:36

but incorporating some shrubs to reduce the maintenance,

0:09:360:09:40

and those shrubs are going to give you colour at different times of the year.

0:09:400:09:44

This meadow is knee-high,

0:09:440:09:46

so all year round you will get this different kind of flood of flowers,

0:09:460:09:49

which is going to look absolutely dramatic in the garden.

0:09:490:09:52

Wanted to bring in some cornice midwinter fire.

0:09:520:09:54

They've got really red stems,

0:09:540:09:56

so in winter they'll look quite vibrant and quite sculptural.

0:09:560:09:58

Witch hazel, which have a winter flower on them,

0:09:580:10:00

which will encourage the birds in.

0:10:000:10:02

-You said about the roof on the far side of the garden...

-Yeah.

0:10:020:10:05

So in the corner we've put a nice ornamental cherry tree.

0:10:050:10:10

-Yeah.

-It will really give that vibrancy to that space.

0:10:100:10:13

Knowing the family are keen to grow their own veg,

0:10:140:10:17

both designers have made room for edibles, too.

0:10:170:10:19

-I have incorporated vegetables in the planting.

-OK.

0:10:190:10:23

And that can look really pretty, because you can edge borders with

0:10:230:10:27

salad leaves, which cut and come again.

0:10:270:10:30

Over here, these are two dwarf fruit trees.

0:10:300:10:34

We've got two raised planters, here. Very manageable.

0:10:340:10:37

-A great start for you guys to grow.

-Yeah.

0:10:370:10:39

We've also left some room in case you want to put another one in,

0:10:390:10:42

in case you start going mad on the vegetable front.

0:10:420:10:44

LAUGHTER

0:10:440:10:46

Both the designers have, in very different ways,

0:10:460:10:49

addressed Andrea's brief.

0:10:490:10:51

But now the gloves are coming off, and in a bid to win, Charlie

0:10:510:10:54

is going straight to the heart of Andrea's passion for wildlife.

0:10:540:10:58

Bearing in mind you want to encourage lots of birds into

0:10:580:11:02

the garden, interest,

0:11:020:11:04

they love mixed hedges using natives and evergreens,

0:11:040:11:08

so all the way round the gaps here,

0:11:080:11:12

this is a mixed hedge using your pyracantha with beech,

0:11:120:11:16

hazel and things like that which the birds love to nest in,

0:11:160:11:20

and then I've got here a very wild woodlandy bit.

0:11:200:11:26

So we've got a couple of trees that are going to get high enough to

0:11:260:11:29

-hide the roofline.

-Yeah.

0:11:290:11:31

But they haven't got such dense shade that plants will grow underneath.

0:11:310:11:37

That's it. The pitch is over. It's now down to Andrea.

0:11:370:11:41

Obviously this one...

0:11:440:11:46

That's a selling point, having that with the two rooms.

0:11:460:11:50

I really like that idea.

0:11:500:11:52

And then this one, I like the different areas.

0:11:520:11:55

I like the wild part.

0:11:560:11:58

This is the first garden that Andrea and her family have had for themselves.

0:11:580:12:03

The right choice could really make a difference to them as a family.

0:12:030:12:07

Not sure.

0:12:070:12:09

Will she plump for the Rich brothers' design

0:12:090:12:12

with its naturalistic meadow and outdoor playroom,

0:12:120:12:15

or Charlie's design with its interlocking circles and

0:12:150:12:18

cottage-garden borders?

0:12:180:12:20

It's decision time.

0:12:230:12:24

-Hello.

-Hi. OK, so, I've chosen the winner.

0:12:280:12:33

Loved both designs, but I could only pick one.

0:12:330:12:37

And the one is...

0:12:370:12:39

-Hey, nice! Well done.

-I thought you were leaning the other way.

0:12:420:12:47

No, I loved it. I could just see it in different sections in this one.

0:12:470:12:52

I liked the fact there was this wild bit here with the trees

0:12:520:12:57

to attract the wildlife and the birds, which I really,

0:12:570:12:59

really wanted, and something for Norman to get involved with.

0:12:590:13:03

So, Charlie's wildlife planting clinched it.

0:13:040:13:07

But she's really going to need the boys' help on this one.

0:13:070:13:10

She's promised Andrea a child-friendly, dog-friendly,

0:13:100:13:13

wildlife-friendly and edible garden.

0:13:130:13:17

And has to deliver all of it for just £1,500.

0:13:170:13:20

It's early morning in Devizes, and the hammers are out already.

0:13:250:13:30

With only £1,500 to spend on this garden,

0:13:320:13:35

Charlie's away coming up with some last-minute upcycling ideas

0:13:350:13:38

to make Andrea's budget go further.

0:13:380:13:40

In the meantime, she's sent project manager Kate

0:13:420:13:45

to mark out the key features in the garden.

0:13:450:13:47

Charlie's design is all about circles.

0:13:480:13:51

Even the pergola she's proposing is round, not square.

0:13:510:13:55

One of the mainstays of Charlie's design are these two big

0:13:550:13:59

circles that are going to be brick-lined.

0:13:590:14:01

One with lawn and one...

0:14:010:14:03

lined and then infilled with bark chip around the shed.

0:14:030:14:07

So we're taking up some slabs from this stepway that should be

0:14:070:14:10

central but isn't, and we're going to move them over here and

0:14:100:14:13

make it central, and it will just make everything work.

0:14:130:14:16

With the middle of the patio repositioned, landscapers

0:14:170:14:20

Adam and Scott can get on with marking out exactly where the circles will be.

0:14:200:14:24

I'm going to dot the lines.

0:14:240:14:26

Scott is going to follow round with a half-moon and cut the lines

0:14:260:14:30

into the turf.

0:14:300:14:32

And we can then get a turfing iron in and lift out that ground

0:14:320:14:35

in between, which gives us our depth to set our bricks in.

0:14:350:14:38

As the dominant features in the garden,

0:14:390:14:42

the two circles have to be perfectly positioned.

0:14:420:14:45

So, having found the middle point of circle one,

0:14:450:14:49

Adam is using string and a spray can to get the arc spot on.

0:14:490:14:54

While Scott follows on behind with a half-moon edging tool to get a perfect cut.

0:14:540:14:59

So the easiest way to get this turf off of the lawn is to have

0:15:000:15:03

someone following you behind with a turfing iron, doing the hard bit.

0:15:030:15:07

LAUGHTER

0:15:070:15:09

With the areas marked out, Scott and Adam now have to figure out

0:15:100:15:14

how many bricks they'll need for the edge.

0:15:140:15:16

13 to a metre...and we're a three-metre radius,

0:15:160:15:20

it works out about 250 bricks for the big circle...

0:15:200:15:24

and then nearly another 100 to do the returns around the shed.

0:15:240:15:29

-It's quite a lot of bricks.

-It's a lot of bricks.

0:15:290:15:31

Whilst calculations go on in the back,

0:15:310:15:33

Charlie and the Rich brothers have arrived.

0:15:330:15:37

And with £1,500 to spend, the boss is on a mission.

0:15:370:15:40

So, with this garden, we're definitely not going to the garden

0:15:400:15:44

centre and not going to the builder's store to buy lots

0:15:440:15:46

-and lots of stuff.

-That's what I was going to be doing all day there,

0:15:460:15:49

-just travelling back and forth.

-The budget doesn't allow it.

0:15:490:15:52

But, having said that, we should be able to achieve something

0:15:520:15:56

really quite attractive

0:15:560:15:58

with the money we have got and upcycling.

0:15:580:16:02

-More of a challenge.

-Definitely.

0:16:020:16:04

My concern is...

0:16:040:16:06

I want to leave lots and lots of space for Norman to play,

0:16:060:16:09

but then I don't want it to look like a football pitch.

0:16:090:16:11

I want it to look like a garden.

0:16:110:16:13

-Yeah, just enough space to exhaust Norman.

-Yeah!

0:16:130:16:15

We just need to think about it and, you know, spend some time

0:16:150:16:19

making sure we get it exactly right.

0:16:190:16:21

I don't want it to look like Steptoe's yard, but...

0:16:210:16:24

-I don't know what Steptoe's yard is.

-Oh, you're so young.

0:16:240:16:27

So young, they are.

0:16:270:16:31

So, without further ado, Charlie sets the boys to work,

0:16:310:16:34

creating the second of the interlocking circles.

0:16:340:16:37

The bricks that will be used for the edging have arrived

0:16:390:16:42

and will be laid side by side rather than end to end.

0:16:420:16:45

-It's quite satisfying, scooping up turf.

-Yeah.

0:16:480:16:51

Harry and Davey's design may not have won,

0:16:510:16:54

but they're impressed with Charlie's choice of materials.

0:16:540:16:58

Charlie's used brick here and that works really nice and

0:16:580:17:01

with the paving that's already here,

0:17:010:17:02

but there are actually loads of different ways that you can do it.

0:17:020:17:05

Yeah. You've got cobbles.

0:17:050:17:06

-You could have rounded, more tumbled cobbles, couldn't you?

-Yeah.

0:17:060:17:09

Maybe some low hedging. Then, again, that's a very soft way of doing it.

0:17:090:17:13

Give it a little bit of elevation.

0:17:130:17:15

Whilst the circular structures start to take shape,

0:17:180:17:21

Charlie's upcycling mission has begun.

0:17:210:17:23

Upcycling's all the rage these days.

0:17:270:17:29

It's basically just using bits and bobs you've got laying around

0:17:290:17:32

that you use creatively to make something that's useful,

0:17:320:17:36

so environmentally it's much better because you don't create

0:17:360:17:39

landfill and you're reusing what you've got about.

0:17:390:17:42

And when you've only got £1,500 to spend on a garden,

0:17:430:17:47

anything free is a bonus.

0:17:470:17:49

Knowing the family are keen to learn about gardening,

0:17:510:17:54

Charlie wants them to start composting.

0:17:540:17:57

A new composting bin can be costly,

0:17:570:17:59

so Charlie is using some leftovers found at the back of the garden.

0:17:590:18:03

I mean, I have to say it's great Gary's got all these pallets,

0:18:030:18:07

-bits of timber we can use.

-Yeah.

0:18:070:18:09

But I don't want it to look like three pallets screwed together.

0:18:090:18:12

-OK. I'll put this down, out the way, for a sec.

-Yeah.

0:18:120:18:16

So I'm thinking...

0:18:160:18:17

This slat...boards across...

0:18:170:18:20

-Boards across the back...

-OK.

-..like that.

-Yeah.

0:18:200:18:24

-And then what I'd like to do is have boards that slide in.

-OK.

0:18:240:18:26

We're going to have to face that as well.

0:18:260:18:29

-Yeah.

-Yeah?

-Not a problem.

0:18:290:18:31

Meanwhile, the turf has been lifted

0:18:350:18:37

and it's time to cement in the brick edging.

0:18:370:18:40

This is the mix of sand and cement we're using to lay the bricks onto.

0:18:430:18:46

It's five to one, which means it's five sand to one cement,

0:18:460:18:49

and that's your standard brick-laying mix.

0:18:490:18:51

With this, as it's just a feature,

0:18:510:18:53

it's not load-bearing and you're not walking on it,

0:18:530:18:56

so there doesn't need to be a layer

0:18:560:18:58

of hardcore beneath the cement and brick.

0:18:580:19:00

Getting a nice curve from straight bricks

0:19:020:19:05

calls for some precise laying.

0:19:050:19:08

What I'm going to look to do is just splay the bricks ever

0:19:080:19:12

so slightly at the furthest point

0:19:120:19:14

and what that will do is give a really nice, clean arc.

0:19:140:19:17

By adding circles and curves to Andrea and Gary's garden,

0:19:180:19:22

Charlie is adding interest to the plot.

0:19:220:19:24

In a standard rectangular garden,

0:19:240:19:27

the eye is often drawn to the fence or boundary line,

0:19:270:19:30

but in adding curves and arcs, the eye is drawn around the space.

0:19:300:19:35

But to really finish off a curved bed,

0:19:380:19:41

a proper landscaped edge can give the garden a professional look.

0:19:410:19:45

Bricks laid end to end are a traditional favourite.

0:19:470:19:52

Log edging is cheaper and more natural,

0:19:520:19:54

so works for wildlife gardens but can degrade quicker.

0:19:540:19:58

And, in a modern garden,

0:19:590:20:01

steel or aluminium edging can create seamless, flowing curves.

0:20:010:20:05

Back in Devizes, David's keen to see how the boss's building

0:20:090:20:13

project is coming along.

0:20:130:20:15

-Oh, here's trouble.

-What are you up to, hiding round the front?

0:20:150:20:18

We're on big...chippy construction site here,

0:20:180:20:21

and that's not potato chippies.

0:20:210:20:23

-What are you making?

-Compost bin.

-Oh, nice!

-Yeah.

0:20:230:20:26

Seems like the fun stuff.

0:20:260:20:27

Well, what are you doing, then?!

0:20:270:20:29

-I'm just collecting bricks.

-Oh, that's all right.

0:20:290:20:31

Oh, you're on the precision stuff.

0:20:310:20:33

You've watched that circle that we're doing - oh-ho-ho!

0:20:330:20:36

Is it an ellipse now, is it?

0:20:360:20:38

-Better not be an ellipse.

-HE LAUGHS

0:20:380:20:42

See you later.

0:20:450:20:46

Charlie needn't worry,

0:20:460:20:48

the boys and the landscapers are doing a cracking job

0:20:480:20:51

and really taking great care to do justice to her design.

0:20:510:20:54

And now they are happy with their curves,

0:20:580:21:00

they can further secure the bricks into place.

0:21:000:21:04

We're going to brush in a dry mix of sand and cement,

0:21:040:21:06

and that will just help bind it a little bit,

0:21:060:21:08

-and also neaten it up as a finish.

-And it's really easy to do, as well.

0:21:080:21:11

You're not having to point it with a wet mix.

0:21:110:21:13

-Make life easy when you can.

-Yeah, definitely.

0:21:130:21:16

And, as the last of the edging goes in,

0:21:160:21:19

Scott and Adam can breath a sigh of relief,

0:21:190:21:22

knowing they got their calculations correct

0:21:220:21:24

and ordered exactly the right amount of bricks.

0:21:240:21:27

-Two more?

-Yas.

0:21:320:21:34

In the recycling centre,

0:21:340:21:36

the home-made compost bin is coming along.

0:21:360:21:39

Charlie and Adam are putting in sliding panels,

0:21:390:21:42

so it will be easy for the family to access.

0:21:420:21:44

-Oh, look at that!

-That's not bad.

0:21:460:21:48

Waste not, want not is definitely the theme of the day.

0:21:500:21:54

Kate's got a plan to recycle all the turf that's been lifted.

0:21:540:22:00

She's stacking it behind the shed, grass side down,

0:22:000:22:03

and, in a few months' time,

0:22:030:22:05

all the grass will have died off and Andrea and Gary will be left

0:22:050:22:08

with a pile of lovely soil, perfect for potting.

0:22:080:22:11

Charlie's got the recycling bit between her teeth now

0:22:140:22:17

and has found some more treasure behind the shed.

0:22:170:22:21

In this garden, I'm going to include everything and the kitchen sink.

0:22:210:22:27

-I...

-Hey!

-I think that's going to look amazing.

-Shh!

0:22:270:22:31

Going to plant it up, are you?

0:22:310:22:32

-No. I thought it would make a great potting bench.

-Yeah.

-Yeah?

0:22:320:22:35

-Like it.

-Perfect.

0:22:350:22:38

So there's no rest for Adam.

0:22:380:22:40

No sooner has he finished the composter,

0:22:400:22:42

he's back amongst the pallets once more.

0:22:420:22:45

Offer it up, as they say.

0:22:450:22:46

Should sit nicely.

0:22:480:22:51

That's... That's all right.

0:22:510:22:53

So the idea is this is a potting bench,

0:22:530:22:55

so you can put the compost in here,

0:22:550:22:58

so it won't spill off or blow off,

0:22:580:23:00

and then you can pot up on here.

0:23:000:23:03

But then, likewise, you can put a plug in...

0:23:030:23:06

And fill that with water, and Norman can play in the water

0:23:060:23:09

and have his cars and boats,

0:23:090:23:11

and maybe a bit of soil, and make a real mess,

0:23:110:23:14

which is great fun when you're a kid.

0:23:140:23:16

While Charlie channels her inner child out the front, in the garden,

0:23:210:23:25

there's been a slight change of plan.

0:23:250:23:28

Originally, this area was down as bark chip,

0:23:280:23:30

but Andrew loved the colour of this gravel and felt it really

0:23:300:23:33

kind of portrayed that country, natural feeling,

0:23:330:23:35

so that's what we've gone with.

0:23:350:23:36

I think it actually works really well because her kitchen

0:23:360:23:39

has this kind of colour scheme as well, so, again,

0:23:390:23:41

it's very soft, isn't it?

0:23:410:23:42

So I think, you know, it's a really nice decision.

0:23:420:23:45

And there's multiple colours and aggregates for gravel,

0:23:450:23:47

so you can fit your colour scheme or your theme with that, can't you?

0:23:470:23:51

Why not?

0:23:530:23:55

One of the reasons Andrew chose Charlie's design over the boys'

0:23:550:23:59

was her proposed areas for wildlife-friendly planting.

0:23:590:24:02

In the top right corner of the plot,

0:24:040:24:06

Charlie is planning a mixed native hedge for attracting the birds.

0:24:060:24:10

At the moment, the fence is there but it's a bit stark.

0:24:120:24:15

And birds actually like to be able to hop in and look around in

0:24:150:24:19

a hedge, and then go to the bird feeders.

0:24:190:24:22

If it's a big, open area like this, they're always a bit wary.

0:24:220:24:25

A native hedge is a mixed hedge that you'd see in the hedgerows up

0:24:250:24:29

and down country lanes.

0:24:290:24:31

It's made up of plant and shrub species native to the UK.

0:24:310:24:35

We've got dogwood, so that's got big, open pink flowers.

0:24:350:24:39

We've got viburnum, which has lovely white flowers early summer.

0:24:390:24:43

And then lots and lots of berries in the autumn,

0:24:430:24:46

which the blackbirds love.

0:24:460:24:47

Then we have also got privet.

0:24:470:24:50

BOTH: Wild privet.

0:24:500:24:52

And we've got hawthorn.

0:24:520:24:54

We've also got some beech as well...

0:24:540:24:56

-And hornbeam.

-Yeah.

0:24:560:24:57

Because the bigger the mix,

0:24:570:24:59

the more of the variety of insects you'll get,

0:24:590:25:01

so the more variety of birds and other wildlife you'll get.

0:25:010:25:05

They may be thin and spindly now,

0:25:060:25:09

but eventually these shrubs will grow and mesh together,

0:25:090:25:12

creating a lush wildlife-friendly hedge.

0:25:120:25:15

Hedges are a really great way of making a garden hospitable to birds,

0:25:160:25:21

but there are other things we can do

0:25:210:25:23

to tempt wildlife into our back yards.

0:25:230:25:25

Adding a pond makes a huge difference...

0:25:280:25:32

and it doesn't have to be a big pond either.

0:25:320:25:35

Just a tin bath or a half-barrel on a patio will attract wildlife.

0:25:350:25:39

Leaving a patch of long grass,

0:25:440:25:46

as Charlie has planned in Andrea and Gary's garden,

0:25:460:25:49

provides a habitat for grasshoppers, beetles and caterpillars.

0:25:490:25:53

And, of course, choosing plenty of shrubs and trees with berries,

0:25:560:26:00

like rowan, holly and yew, will make sure there's a running buffet

0:26:000:26:03

for birds in the colder months.

0:26:030:26:05

For Andrea's new hedgerow, to make the budget go further,

0:26:130:26:17

Charlie's bought young plants - or whips - rather than mature shrubs.

0:26:170:26:21

They establish well in the ground,

0:26:210:26:23

especially if you plant them between late autumn and early spring.

0:26:230:26:27

We've got 100 whips.

0:26:280:26:30

We're going to do a double row and then we're going to space them out

0:26:300:26:33

about a foot to a foot and a bit apart,

0:26:330:26:36

so we're going to get 50 foot of hedge for £90 -

0:26:360:26:39

you couldn't do that with a solid fence.

0:26:390:26:42

No way.

0:26:420:26:43

Another way to tempt birds into the garden is with feeders,

0:26:450:26:48

which can be bought from any garden centre.

0:26:480:26:51

Charlie's ordered a couple and given the boys the job of building them.

0:26:510:26:55

Where is M?

0:26:550:26:57

M2.

0:26:590:27:01

Once they're loaded up with food,

0:27:030:27:06

these feeders will keep the birds coming back to the garden.

0:27:060:27:10

I've done something wrong here.

0:27:100:27:12

I mean, yours is looking rubbish.

0:27:120:27:14

But the boys are in a spot of bother.

0:27:140:27:16

-Instructions back out.

-HE SIGHS

0:27:160:27:18

They may have a Chelsea gold medal under their belts,

0:27:200:27:23

but, when it comes to flat pack, they're all over the shop.

0:27:230:27:26

I'm just trying to find... Where's the box this all came out of?

0:27:260:27:30

At this rate, Charlie's hedge will be fully grown and attracting

0:27:320:27:36

birds before the feeders are ready.

0:27:360:27:38

Once planted, Charlie prunes the top of each whip.

0:27:390:27:43

By cutting off the top section, what happens is you make all the

0:27:430:27:47

growth come from the shoots at the bottom,

0:27:470:27:50

so, of course, it gets thicker.

0:27:500:27:52

The hedge will be planted in no time.

0:27:520:27:55

But, sadly, progress is a little slower out the front.

0:27:550:27:59

M...times two.

0:28:020:28:04

There should be two of Ms.

0:28:040:28:06

Have a look, see if you can see an M...anywhere.

0:28:060:28:09

I've got my own troubles. I don't know which screw to use.

0:28:090:28:12

While the boys finally get to grips with the feeders,

0:28:160:28:19

things are moving on apace in the rest of the garden.

0:28:190:28:23

And, happily, the potting bench cum mud kitchen is a triumph...

0:28:230:28:26

Ready? Up.

0:28:260:28:28

Ooh, that's a lot lighter than I thought.

0:28:280:28:30

..and is ready to be moved into place, along with the compost bin.

0:28:300:28:34

-Look at that. Dream!

-It's as if it was measured.

0:28:350:28:38

I don't think that is...

0:28:400:28:42

-Here, I think.

-Just about here.

0:28:420:28:44

-Underneath the window.

-Beautiful.

0:28:440:28:45

You have been busy back there, then, have you?

0:28:450:28:48

Yes. See? You think I've just been drinking tea.

0:28:480:28:50

I'm sure you've been doing that as well as been doing this.

0:28:500:28:52

And pointing a bit, and moaning.

0:28:520:28:54

-That's where that's going, is it?

-Yeah.

0:28:540:28:55

How tall is Norman?

0:28:550:28:57

-How tall is Norman?

-How tall is he?

0:28:570:28:59

Is this a quiz, is it?

0:28:590:29:01

No, no, I haven't finished this yet.

0:29:010:29:03

-Oh.

-We're going to put steps.

-Oh, perfect.

0:29:030:29:06

They look amazing, them.

0:29:060:29:08

-Just using kind of bits and bobs you had around...

-Yeah.

0:29:080:29:11

-..it shows what you can do with just a bit of jiggery-pokery.

-Yeah.

0:29:110:29:14

A bit of thought...and what can you create?

0:29:140:29:18

-A garden!

-A garden, ah.

0:29:180:29:20

I put pressure on Dave then to come up with something.

0:29:200:29:22

You were going to say something profound, like "the only thing that

0:29:220:29:26

limits you is your imagination".

0:29:260:29:28

-Aw...you're in my head.

-LAUGHTER

0:29:280:29:31

Charlie may have used the leftovers from Andrea's old garden to

0:29:310:29:35

make the most of the limited budget,

0:29:350:29:37

but some gardeners consider upcycling

0:29:370:29:39

to be a style all of its own.

0:29:390:29:41

Garden designer Jeni Cairns loves reinventing old items.

0:29:430:29:48

She uses recycled and repurposed objects as the cornerstone of

0:29:510:29:55

many of her garden designs.

0:29:550:29:57

I grew up on a farm and my dad would never throw anything away,

0:29:590:30:03

and my grandma and my grandad.

0:30:030:30:05

I think it's sort of come down the line.

0:30:050:30:07

Looking around her own garden, it's clear that many of the items

0:30:090:30:12

she's upcycled and repurposed have an agricultural feel.

0:30:120:30:16

One of the things that I've made is a water feature

0:30:170:30:20

and I used drinking bowls out of animal shed,

0:30:200:30:23

and drilled holes in them

0:30:230:30:25

so they could create this cascade as it went down.

0:30:250:30:28

And I used things like metal grating for the background and then

0:30:280:30:31

created a pebble mosaic.

0:30:310:30:33

Jeni's always on the lookout for her next recycling project and

0:30:370:30:42

sourced as many of her materials from local salvage yards.

0:30:420:30:46

Her recent find was some old railway sleepers.

0:30:460:30:49

I had this sort of triangle area in my garden,

0:30:500:30:53

so I used them in a sort of fan shape set into tarmac chippings,

0:30:530:30:58

and then it's created this great space,

0:30:580:31:00

which could be an area where alpines and things that grow in gravel,

0:31:000:31:05

you know, could do really well,

0:31:050:31:07

and I think it's been a really successful part of the garden.

0:31:070:31:10

Jeni clearly has a great eye when it comes to spotting the

0:31:130:31:16

potential of a redundant object

0:31:160:31:19

and has a skill for making something beautiful for the garden out

0:31:190:31:22

of the least likely things.

0:31:220:31:24

I've used oil drums quite a lot more recently because

0:31:270:31:30

there are so many of them and they can be reused in

0:31:300:31:34

so many different ways.

0:31:340:31:35

So, using a plasma cutter,

0:31:350:31:37

I could cut them in half and use wood as a top to make a seat,

0:31:370:31:42

or I would cut the ends

0:31:420:31:43

and create a piece of decorative artwork to go on the wall.

0:31:430:31:47

Just change things, and they look new and fresh and...

0:31:520:31:56

I just think there's so many...

0:31:560:31:58

There's an endless world of possibilities.

0:31:580:32:00

With the recycling and upcycling complete

0:32:080:32:11

in Andrea and Gary's garden,

0:32:110:32:13

the team are cracking on with the planting.

0:32:130:32:15

-Charlie, we've got your trees for you.

-Okey-cokey.

0:32:150:32:18

Look at this. Beautiful crab apple - good choice!

0:32:180:32:21

Yes, lovely crab apple. Nice flowers.

0:32:210:32:23

I mean, look at that.

0:32:230:32:25

This one is red sentinel,

0:32:250:32:26

so it gets the red apples on it that stay on all winter.

0:32:260:32:30

And I've got the sorbus, so the beautiful kind of

0:32:300:32:32

autumn colour in berries.

0:32:320:32:34

It's all about that.

0:32:340:32:35

-It's quite a showy one for late in the season.

-Yeah.

0:32:350:32:39

To add height to her design, Charlie has included two trees that

0:32:390:32:43

will perform two key functions in the garden -

0:32:430:32:46

they'll provide cover and berries for the birds,

0:32:460:32:49

and block the unsightly rooftops at the back of the plot.

0:32:490:32:52

The budget means Charlie has bought smaller trees

0:32:520:32:55

that will eventually grow to around six metres in height.

0:32:550:32:59

I have to say - both planted very well.

0:32:590:33:02

And as you're competitive,

0:33:020:33:04

I would say the final finish probably goes to David here,

0:33:040:33:07

-because he's fluffed his up a bit.

-Woo!

0:33:070:33:09

All right, I'll pay you that tenner later.

0:33:090:33:11

LAUGHTER

0:33:110:33:13

While Charlie carries on with the wildlife area,

0:33:140:33:17

Harry and landscaper Scott are starting on the picket fence.

0:33:170:33:21

Andrea and Gary have three dogs, so, to help protect the new garden,

0:33:220:33:26

Charlie is putting in a divide between the patio and the plot.

0:33:260:33:30

I think it's going to be nice when this is up.

0:33:300:33:32

There's a nice division between the two gardens.

0:33:320:33:34

It's going to really define the areas.

0:33:340:33:36

I think if they put a little table up here

0:33:360:33:38

-it'll feel a bit more private, won't it?

-Yeah, definitely.

0:33:380:33:40

It's still quite translucent, isn't it? So you don't lose the garden.

0:33:400:33:44

You can see straight through, can't you?

0:33:440:33:45

-You can see Norman still playing.

-Yes.

0:33:450:33:47

But Charlie's wondering what's happened

0:33:500:33:53

to the last part of the veg garden.

0:33:530:33:54

David, would you like to help me bring in the lean-to greenhouse?

0:33:570:34:01

Ooh, I don't know if it's done.

0:34:010:34:02

-What do you mean, it's not done?

-Three quarters of the way.

0:34:020:34:05

Why is that, then?

0:34:050:34:06

Was there a piece of M that you didn't know where it went?

0:34:060:34:09

-It was O!

-It was O!

0:34:090:34:11

Well, shall we bring it in and finish it,

0:34:110:34:14

and see if it will fit in that spot?

0:34:140:34:16

I like that idea.

0:34:160:34:18

David's been nobbled and he's back on flat-pack detail under

0:34:180:34:21

Charlie's watchful eye.

0:34:210:34:23

The instructions are down by you, aren't they?

0:34:240:34:27

Well, I can tell you now, you need to put four screws

0:34:270:34:31

along the back there, for that.

0:34:310:34:33

Then you need to come and put these screws in...

0:34:330:34:36

because your brother seems to have had a bit of a moment there.

0:34:360:34:39

So we're putting a little cold frame in,

0:34:440:34:46

so it's sort of got polycarbonate on it,

0:34:460:34:49

so it's slightly insulated,

0:34:490:34:50

but it will be great for starting seeds off.

0:34:500:34:53

It will just give them that little bit of boost,

0:34:530:34:55

especially in the spring, and give them a little bit of protection,

0:34:550:34:58

until it's ready to plant them out.

0:34:580:35:00

So it will be quite fun for Norman.

0:35:010:35:03

And also, Andrea said she wanted to be growing some of her own

0:35:030:35:07

vegetables and plants for the garden.

0:35:070:35:10

The landscaping in the garden is finally coming together,

0:35:180:35:22

so Charlie is free to start placing out her plants in the borders.

0:35:220:35:26

Now, I think shrubs first, because of the structure.

0:35:260:35:30

The key to the planting in Charlie's design are the two beds nearest

0:35:320:35:35

the patio.

0:35:350:35:36

Shrubs will give them structure, so she places them first.

0:35:390:35:42

Andrea said she doesn't like a garden to look really dismal in the

0:35:460:35:49

winter and die back, so hebes are lovely because they've got good foliage.

0:35:490:35:54

This one's a blue-grey foliage, and stays small,

0:35:540:35:57

so it makes a little round mound.

0:35:570:35:59

And then we've got some purple ones that have got purply leaves,

0:35:590:36:02

so that's going to give her a lot of structure in the wintertime.

0:36:020:36:06

A lot of these shrubs might look like they're well spaced out,

0:36:120:36:14

but this spiraea is actually going to get quite tall, and as you

0:36:140:36:18

can see, the exochorda gets to that size,

0:36:180:36:20

so we need to give them the space.

0:36:200:36:23

Charlie's also adding some wigwams for growing sweet peas.

0:36:270:36:31

They'll pump out lovely scent next to the patio and add instant

0:36:310:36:35

height, which will be particularly welcome in Andrea and Gary's

0:36:350:36:38

garden while the new plants mature.

0:36:380:36:40

I mean, these sweet peas are really good value. This pot, £1.50.

0:36:430:36:48

And you get loads and loads of sweet peas in there.

0:36:480:36:51

I mean, you can split the pot in half or even into three.

0:36:510:36:55

But I'll just split them in half. Like that.

0:36:550:36:58

So they go a long way for £1.50, and they'll be flowering all summer.

0:36:580:37:02

That's not bad.

0:37:020:37:04

The one outstanding feature of Charlie's design yet to go in

0:37:080:37:12

is the pergola.

0:37:120:37:13

Adam has already concreted in the posts and they have set firm.

0:37:130:37:17

Thank you very much.

0:37:180:37:20

I always find that height gets neglected in gardens quite a lot.

0:37:210:37:24

Especially with this garden, there's quite a lot of detail

0:37:240:37:27

-on the ground, with the gravel and the bricks, isn't there?

-Yes.

0:37:270:37:30

-So that really lifts it up, doesn't it?

-I think it's a really nice feature, I think it's...

0:37:300:37:34

-Because you built it, that's why.

-Yeah, obviously.

0:37:340:37:36

THEY LAUGH

0:37:360:37:37

But I like the way it frames this circle in the lawn as well, as you walk off the patio.

0:37:370:37:41

I think it's really nice.

0:37:410:37:42

Although Adam has made this pergola himself,

0:37:440:37:46

there's a bewildering array available in kit form.

0:37:460:37:49

As long as you follow the instructions,

0:37:490:37:52

they're pretty straightforward to assemble.

0:37:520:37:54

This garden has been more than just a test of the team's design

0:38:020:38:05

and horticultural skills.

0:38:050:38:07

They've had to be bricklayers, joiners and DIY experts as well.

0:38:070:38:12

But it's been worth it to make Andrea and Gary's limited

0:38:140:38:17

budget go as far as possible.

0:38:170:38:20

-And we have got some vegetables to go in there.

-Oh, cool.

0:38:200:38:23

-Well, let's put them in, shall we?

-Yeah.

0:38:230:38:25

And as the last adjustments are made to the bird feeders and the

0:38:300:38:34

final plants go in, the garden is ready for its grand unveiling.

0:38:340:38:39

For years, Andrea and Gary have longed for a garden of their own,

0:38:440:38:48

and when they eventually got this one, it was drab and boring.

0:38:480:38:52

Now it's had a £1,500 makeover.

0:38:540:38:58

Charlie and the team have spent every penny of the budget to try

0:38:580:39:01

and make this garden work for all the family.

0:39:010:39:04

She's spent £340 on a picket fence and timber to create a stunning

0:39:050:39:11

pergola, which adds instant height and a gateway to the new garden.

0:39:110:39:15

The interlocking circles have transformed the featureless lawn.

0:39:180:39:22

And the bricks to edge them came at a cost of £150.

0:39:230:39:27

The wildlife area will mature into a welcoming B&B for birds.

0:39:300:39:35

It all cost £250,

0:39:350:39:37

but will provide endless delight for the whole family.

0:39:370:39:40

The new, upcycled potting bench,

0:39:420:39:44

compost bin and lean-to greenhouse cost just £72,

0:39:440:39:49

and will set the family on track with growing their own veg.

0:39:490:39:52

And Charlie's well-chosen planting means that as the garden matures,

0:39:540:39:58

it will have plenty of colour and interest,

0:39:580:40:01

even in the darkest months.

0:40:010:40:03

Andrea and Gary were prepared to stake £1,500 of their own money

0:40:040:40:08

on making the first garden they have ever owned

0:40:080:40:11

into something truly special.

0:40:110:40:14

It's time to find out if Charlie's design was up to the task.

0:40:140:40:19

-Do you think she'll like it?

-I think, definitely.

-I think so.

0:40:190:40:22

I think this little dog will love it as well.

0:40:220:40:25

He'll run around there.

0:40:250:40:27

You can open your eyes.

0:40:270:40:29

Wow.

0:40:300:40:31

I mean, it's a massive difference, isn't it?

0:40:310:40:34

From what was there. Just a bit of lawn.

0:40:340:40:35

-It's actually made that shed look quite nice.

-Yeah.

0:40:350:40:38

This is your growing area, playing area, digging.

0:40:380:40:41

-Norman's got a step up to the sink area.

-I love that.

0:40:410:40:45

Norman is going to love his little area, isn't he?

0:40:450:40:48

I think, yeah, he's going to go straight to it...

0:40:480:40:51

Straight up on!

0:40:510:40:52

-Over here...

-Wow, yep.

0:40:520:40:54

..that's all your planting.

0:40:540:40:56

They're quite small at the moment,

0:40:560:40:58

but they're going to fill this space.

0:40:580:41:00

This will become a lovely,

0:41:000:41:02

full place with lots of colour and plants.

0:41:020:41:06

And then we have got...

0:41:060:41:07

-..your mini orchard.

-Wow.

0:41:090:41:11

So we've got an apple tree, a plum tree and a pear tree.

0:41:110:41:16

Fruit-tree area. That'll be nice when they grow up.

0:41:160:41:18

And it's nice, they're dwarf ones,

0:41:180:41:20

so they're not going to drown out the whole space.

0:41:200:41:22

And then we've got the wildlife area,

0:41:220:41:24

-because you said you really wanted to get birds into the garden.

-Yeah.

0:41:240:41:28

So we've got some trees that are going to come up and screen.

0:41:280:41:31

And then we've got our native hedging,

0:41:310:41:33

with planting all the way through.

0:41:330:41:35

And then you've got your pergola.

0:41:350:41:37

It's lovely, yeah. Will that one climb over that?

0:41:370:41:39

Yes, we've got two honeysuckles, so a nice lot of scent.

0:41:390:41:43

But there's space for you to put your own climbers in as well.

0:41:430:41:46

Or, what you could do is buy some seeds, start them off in

0:41:460:41:50

your little cold frame there, and then plant them out.

0:41:500:41:53

This garden has been transformed for just £1,500.

0:41:550:42:00

Charlie has boxed clever with the small budget,

0:42:000:42:02

and recycled and reused wherever possible to try and give

0:42:020:42:06

Andrea and Gary the garden they have longed for.

0:42:060:42:10

I think it's just fabulous, I love it, it's just what I wanted.

0:42:100:42:14

And just how I had pictured it in my mind.

0:42:140:42:17

And, obviously, the plan as well.

0:42:170:42:19

For such a simple design and not a lot of money,

0:42:190:42:22

I think it's really made the garden something special.

0:42:220:42:25

I think my favourite bit of the whole garden is the bit

0:42:250:42:27

forward of the sink, and all that upcycled area.

0:42:270:42:30

And all that stuff's free.

0:42:300:42:31

The nature bit, where the birds...

0:42:330:42:35

I can see that's going to be really, really good.

0:42:350:42:37

I can't wait for the trees to open out.

0:42:370:42:40

And then I can see the hedging part, that's going to look really

0:42:400:42:43

good this time next year, when it's grown up a little bit.

0:42:430:42:46

It's going to look fabulous.

0:42:460:42:47

I think my favourite bit about the garden is the way that

0:42:470:42:50

you've broken up the space into rooms.

0:42:500:42:52

It's a very simple way of doing it,

0:42:520:42:55

but the end product is really strong.

0:42:550:42:57

It doesn't look like a garden that was just

0:42:570:43:00

a traditional housing-estate type of garden.

0:43:000:43:03

It looks a bit different now.

0:43:030:43:05

It was just all plain and boring,

0:43:060:43:09

and now it seems like we have an actual garden.

0:43:090:43:12

And it feels so much more homely.

0:43:120:43:15

It's going to be great. I love it.
