:04:31. > :04:34.very quick time. My dads was hard- working. He left school and wanted
:04:35. > :04:40.to be an engineer and that is what he did. He served his apprentice

:04:44. > :04:51.it takes anybody. You can be a clever man, you can be a not so
:04:52. > :04:56.clever man. It is no chooser of who it affects. He would pick me up
:04:56. > :05:00.from school and we'd make tea together. Or my grand-dad would
:05:00. > :05:06.make tea and we'd watch television. Silly little things. Just little
:05:06. > :05:11.sings. - o' things. That I can't do any more. It eats you up, knowing
:05:11. > :05:16.that you will never get those days back. You don't know how lucky you
:05:16. > :05:21.until they're gone. No way you can describe how it makes you feel. It
:05:21. > :05:29.kills you. It is like someone's tipped your worlds upside down and
:05:29. > :05:33.shaken it and then put it into a blender. It is left in shredders.
:05:33. > :05:37.My dad's face lights up the minute my children come. It just would be
:05:37. > :05:43.nice for them to go and be able to push the wheel chair out with some
:05:43. > :05:49.nice seating and sit and listen to the birds and smell the flowers.
:05:49. > :05:53.Everything normal what everyone else does at home. It is a lovey
:05:53. > :05:59.area. A beautiful space and it's wasted. The trees are great, but we
:05:59. > :06:05.can't get out. That is that outside stimulation the patients need.
:06:05. > :06:10.familys can spends time with their relatives. For the girls, it will
:06:10. > :06:14.make all the difference. Why does he have to spend his time locked
:06:14. > :06:19.inside like a prisoner. He is a prisoner in side his own body as it
:06:19. > :06:23.is, why does he have to be a prisoner inside four walls. We have
:06:23. > :06:27.a garden, why shouldn't he? So that is our challenge. But with these
:06:27. > :06:34.people's help we're going to transform this garden into a haven
:06:34. > :06:37.where the familys can intends time with their loved ones in peace and
:06:37. > :06:44.tranquility. But before we can start, we need to get an idea of
:06:44. > :06:51.what we will be doing and Joe's the man with the plan. It is a big
:06:51. > :06:57.space. Yes it is. It is a great garden, but none of it is
:06:57. > :07:01.accessible. This slope is Leithal if you're 8 and in a wheel chair.
:07:01. > :07:07.And the grass. Half of the year it will be so wet you can't use it.
:07:07. > :07:12.Joe, you're going to have your work cut out. Do you want to see the
:07:12. > :07:17.plan? You have done a heart for us. Bless! Is that for you two. It
:07:17. > :07:22.starts with a path running all the way through. So you never feel like
:07:22. > :07:27.you're coming to a spots or getting stuck. You keep moving all the way
:07:27. > :07:33.through it and back up to the top. The star of the garden will be a
:07:33. > :07:40.safe path that will take youen a journey around the space. Through a
:07:40. > :07:44.sensory garden full of heshs and plant and into a seaside guard on
:07:44. > :07:47.the reminds people of family holidays tofplt attracts insects
:07:47. > :07:54.we're buildsing a wieldz life station and this being Britain,
:07:54. > :08:00.there is a gazebo for those rainy days. Bright colours, smelly
:08:00. > :08:06.plants? Yes lots of wildlife. At the moment it is barren, so get
:08:06. > :08:12.insects and birds, so you feel yur among the planting. I think that
:08:12. > :08:22.gold at Chelsea... Gone to his head. To make this design possible the
:08:22. > :08:23.
:08:23. > :08:31.first thing we need is to mark out the path. It wiggles. Goods luck,
:08:31. > :08:38.Phil. Not that wiggley. Imagine you're walk. Anneka, tell him.
:08:38. > :08:42.Tuffers is more known for his humour, so will be on a steep
:08:42. > :08:48.learning curve. That's not bad. It is only the middle. It is not the
:08:48. > :08:56.bad, but we will have to straighten up that bit. That is it. Keep going.
:08:56. > :09:01.Straight towards the gate. Don't go too far right. Keep going. Wril
:09:01. > :09:06.yapbt -- blilyapbtsz. Now you can - - brilliant, now you can see the
:09:06. > :09:11.scale of it. We're going to need key man power during the builds.
:09:11. > :09:16.The seaside garden, there is a lot of pebbles and railway sleepers
:09:16. > :09:23.coming in. We need some muscle and planting. There is lts of plants
:09:23. > :09:31.going in and three of us will be here forever. Ideally, people who
:09:31. > :09:39.are goods with plants. So yes. hear your digger. Here they come.
:09:39. > :09:44.Bring on the diggers! Buildsing the path is key. Joe will need his team
:09:44. > :09:51.of landscaperss help take up the dangerous paving and make way for a
:09:51. > :09:55.smooth walk way. It is a big job, but if we get it right, it will
:09:55. > :10:02.make a massive difference to everyone's life. We need to make
:10:02. > :10:08.its work for all of the generations. It would be nice for, as a group
:10:08. > :10:12.that we were a bunch of strangers, 60 odds relative strangers that use
:10:12. > :10:20.Tods pass in corridors and we have become friends. Because they are in
:10:20. > :10:24.the same zone as we are. They go through the same things. Oh well
:10:24. > :10:33.this will be great. This will be really great. We're going to do
:10:33. > :10:38.this for Keith. And the others. will be great for all 60 of
:10:38. > :10:42.themment - of them. It will be a mammoth build. But Jane won't be
:10:42. > :10:50.involved. We want to keep the final guards an surprise. You're not
:10:50. > :10:56.allowed to see the garden. I want it to be a surprise. That will seem
:10:56. > :11:00.like long time. You're being banned and we have work to do. There is
:11:00. > :11:05.something familiar about hitting the road again. I need some green
:11:05. > :11:10.fingered MEP to get the plants into the garden. I know where I will
:11:10. > :11:15.finds some volunteers. Joe's landscaping is very ambitious, it
:11:15. > :11:21.is a big site. We are going to needs some man power. It made me
:11:21. > :11:27.think about 20 years ago we came to Sheffield to do a challenge. We
:11:27. > :11:33.created a city farm here call tds Heeley City Farm. I just thought
:11:33. > :11:41.while we're here I could track them down and see if they can help us.
:11:41. > :11:51.Where will I find green fingered folk? A farm. This is so good to be
:11:51. > :11:57.back. Hello. Isn't this lovely? How are you? We did as a Challenge. Did
:11:57. > :12:06.you know? A thousand years ago we came and worked here. Oh I remember
:12:06. > :12:11.this. Reception. I'm doing a project at the moment on the
:12:11. > :12:16.outskirts of Sheffield, in a care home, trying to landscape a big
:12:16. > :12:22.garden. I was wondering if there was any volunteers I could talk to.
:12:22. > :12:31.Yes sure. The best thing to do is have a wander. Could you help? Can
:12:32. > :12:40.I put you down? Yes definitely. Which way? Can I put you down as
:12:40. > :12:47.number two. Would you Reich to -- like to help. Yes. Do you want to
:12:47. > :12:52.do it? That would be lovely. You're green fingered. I have done plants.
:12:52. > :12:59.What is your name. David. You're on our team. Well done. I'm loving
:12:59. > :13:04.this. Thafrpblgt wasn't hard. When the time comes to plant, I have got
:13:04. > :13:11.my gang. In the garden our designer is facing hi own challenges. When I
:13:11. > :13:14.design a garden, it is a different set of rules, the aesthetics are
:13:14. > :13:21.Parra mount and there is practicalities. But here is a
:13:21. > :13:29.different challenge. It is new. I have gt to make it a practical
:13:29. > :13:35.space, but it is not all about the aesthetics, but triggering emotions.
:13:35. > :13:40.Without wanting it to turn into a theme park it must hang together,
:13:40. > :13:44.but that layer of emotion is more important than the design itself.
:13:44. > :13:50.The pressure's on. Joe's got to get this right. These guys have had a
:13:50. > :13:57.tough time. Last year the home was almost closed. Came painers
:13:57. > :14:04.fighting plans to close two care homes have made with the city's NHS
:14:04. > :14:10.board. NHS chef Sheffield said I can -- Sheffield says it can't
:14:10. > :14:16.maintain the homes. The family got together. We said they're not
:14:16. > :14:22.taking it back. I saw Nick Clegg and sat in his office. If you feel
:14:22. > :14:29.strongly, you fight for it. Eight months on and the home is safe,
:14:29. > :14:38.thanks to the families. It was better than winning the lot
:14:38. > :14:43.Liverpool it was everything. It was that... Pinch me, I is sur Real, -
:14:43. > :14:53.surreal feeling. They may have saved the home. But now the garden
:14:53. > :14:53.
:14:53. > :14:58.needs rescuing. Those who fought We're going to move these shrubs.
:14:58. > :15:03.I'm gok into demonstration mode now. We need to make sure we get a nice
:15:03. > :15:09.big root ball under here. Crikey, that looks some hard work, doesn't
:15:09. > :15:17.it? Get the root ball and lift them up, put them in the barrow and get
:15:17. > :15:21.them over there. Shall we grab a spade? Joe wants to transform this
:15:21. > :15:31.scruby shrubery into a fantastic heart-shaped wildflower meadow that
:15:31. > :15:33.
:15:33. > :15:38.will be a magnet for wildlife. And it's next to the gazebo, happy days.
:15:38. > :15:43.Joe being a thrifty gardener is using the old soil to build up the
:15:43. > :15:50.mound and recycle the shrubs round the rest of the garden. Clever boy.
:15:50. > :15:54.Do you want me to get in there my love? Don't get lost in there.
:15:54. > :16:00.There you go. There's another one. Pop him over there.
:16:00. > :16:07.Take him down there. Lovely. Where's Joe? I don't know how we're
:16:07. > :16:12.going to get that tree out. That's a proper tree. There we go. We're
:16:12. > :16:18.out. I don't know whether we've taken much of a root ball with that,
:16:18. > :16:23.but there it's gone. What is that? I think we've left the root ball.
:16:23. > :16:27.We don't want it. Don't want it?! You could have told us before we
:16:27. > :16:30.spend half an hour digging it out. My lack of gardening skills are
:16:30. > :16:36.beginning to show. Thank goodness these lot know what they're doing.
:16:36. > :16:42.Margaret, how are you involved here? My husband Alan is in here.
:16:42. > :16:47.He's been here since last October. Has he -- have you had enough of
:16:47. > :16:52.doing this? Yes. Let's have a cup of tea. Don't tell Joe.
:16:52. > :16:59.lightweight. Margaret tells me Alan used to be a
:16:59. > :17:04.sportsman himself. So I'm keen to meet him. This is Alan. All right
:17:04. > :17:08.Alan. I've brought somebody to meet you. Hello Sir. You don't have to
:17:08. > :17:12.stand up. This is Phil Tufnell. are you mate? All right. Good lad.
:17:12. > :17:16.He's come to have a chat with you, is that all right? Yeah. Sit down
:17:16. > :17:23.then. How's it going, all right?
:17:23. > :17:25.Sheffield Wednesday. The Owls. You was a good footballer, weren't you?
:17:25. > :17:33.was a good footballer, weren't you? Some would say yes, some would say
:17:33. > :17:38.Played on the wing, Margaret was saying? Yeah. Don't the wing.
:17:38. > :17:44.-- down the wing. A semi- professional footballer and junior
:17:44. > :17:47.champion tennis player, Alan loved sport in life. His job as a postman
:17:47. > :17:51.meant he was rarely indoors. Being confined now must be especially
:17:51. > :17:56.hard for him. There's a garden we're making for everyone here,
:17:56. > :18:00.outside. I need to get back to work. Lovely to meet you Sir. Nice to
:18:00. > :18:06.meet you. Pleasure to meet you, mate. All the best.
:18:06. > :18:10.I've been in and seen Alan. What a top fell ya. His eyes lit up when I
:18:10. > :18:14.talked about Sheffield Wednesday. It's just hit home in my mind, this
:18:14. > :18:20.is what this garden's all about. Alan was a fit bloke, played sport
:18:20. > :18:28.and then randomly gets this disease. He's been outdoors all hills life.
:18:28. > :18:35.It will be great to get him back outdoors and into the garden.
:18:35. > :18:38.What a day. It's been brilliant though. Gosh, I feel very moved and
:18:38. > :18:43.I really want to crack on now. People are so passionate about it.
:18:43. > :18:48.You have to get it right. We've got to get it right. It's not me and
:18:48. > :18:52.you two, it's us. It's the gang. Let's go. It seems to be going
:18:52. > :18:57.pretty well. The soil's been barrowed in for the wildflower
:18:57. > :19:01.garden. We've dug out the path and now it's time to lay the base layer,
:19:01. > :19:10.gravel. The biggest problem is the not so great British weatherment --
:19:10. > :19:13.weather. Day two, and where's the great British summer?
:19:13. > :19:20.# Into each life some rain must fall... #
:19:20. > :19:24.This is fun, isn't it?! Our team may be pushing on, but we're all
:19:24. > :19:28.seriously worried about the rain. It's making work on the path really
:19:28. > :19:34.dangerous and we've got several tons of gravel to get down before
:19:34. > :19:38.we can lay the rubber. It's a muddy nightmare. This is where there
:19:38. > :19:43.could be a problem. In a few days we have the path coming along. We
:19:43. > :19:48.have to get the edging, the subbase in. When you pour the path it has
:19:49. > :19:52.to be perfectly dry weather. It could put ut whole -- put the whole
:19:52. > :19:57.schedule back a few days. Whilst the boys struggle on, Tuffers is
:19:57. > :20:02.having less luck at the cricket. Welcome to the third and final Test
:20:02. > :20:08.between England and the West Indies. We're at Edgbaston. But the
:20:08. > :20:14.forecast is depressing. PHONE RINGS Tuffers? Hello mate. How's it going
:20:14. > :20:17.there. Rain stopped play? Yeah, not a ball bowled, mate. How's it
:20:17. > :20:23.going? Horrendous weather I have to say. It doesn't stop us, you see,
:20:23. > :20:27.on a building site. Leave it to us Phil, it's fine. It's under control.
:20:27. > :20:32.Keep up the good work. We will, we'll keep up the good work. Thanks
:20:32. > :20:39.for your support. All the best, mate. Bye. Take care, bud.
:20:39. > :20:43.Hard at it. That's brilliant, sitting around drinking tea eating
:20:43. > :20:48.sandwiches while we are well, in a mud bath. It takes another day of
:20:48. > :20:52.battling the wet for us to realise that 48 tons of path gravel and
:20:52. > :20:58.three tons of seaside pebbles aren't going to move themselves. It
:20:58. > :21:02.looks like our garden build has reached its tipping point. What we
:21:02. > :21:06.need now is muscle rather than green fingers. If anyone can get us
:21:07. > :21:11.an army of man power, it's got to be Anneka. One of the guys at the
:21:11. > :21:16.farm was saying there's actually a Territorial Army base veneer to
:21:16. > :21:23.Norton, which is where our home is. So, we thought we might just pop in.
:21:23. > :21:28.# I need a hero # I'm holding out for a hero #
:21:28. > :21:33.Hi guys. My name's Ed. I'm the OC of 106 field squadron here.
:21:33. > :21:38.look perfect. We're looking for some really strong guys. We have
:21:38. > :21:43.about three tons of pebbles to shift. OK. Would you be able to do
:21:43. > :21:49.that No problem. Really? Brilliant. These are the guys who wherever
:21:49. > :21:54.they are, they can put up a bridge overnight. In fact, why aren't you
:21:54. > :22:01.doing our whole project? They are brilliant the TA. If they're on
:22:01. > :22:09.board, I feel confident about this project now. Brilliant. The boys
:22:09. > :22:16.from the TA have rolled up. Bit of rain ain't going to put them off.
:22:16. > :22:20.The first thing would be to top dress the paths as we go through.
:22:20. > :22:27.Path winds around the garden for 240 metres and all of it needs a
:22:27. > :22:31.gravel base layer, all 48 tons of the stuff! Thank God for the TA.
:22:31. > :22:34.I don't know what we'd have done without my beefy soldiers. They're
:22:34. > :22:41.laying gravel, shifting branches and cementing walls. I think I love
:22:41. > :22:45.them. Lovely to see you. Thank you so much. I hear everyone's been a
:22:45. > :22:51.complete star. Absolute star, particularly the TA guys. Didn't I
:22:51. > :22:54.say I would get good guys. We've not paid him to say that, honest.
:22:54. > :22:58.It's good to do something for the community. Some of the residents no
:22:58. > :23:01.doubt perhaps have no-one at all apart from the staff and people,
:23:01. > :23:05.maybe if we see one of the residents with a smile on their
:23:05. > :23:09.face, it will really almost bring a tear to the eye. It will bring a
:23:09. > :23:14.tear to my eye if we don't finish it. We're nearly halfway through
:23:14. > :23:19.and we still have to turn this soil into a sunny seaside garden. So
:23:20. > :23:23.this is going to be like a beach hut for our seaside area. That will
:23:23. > :23:28.be fun. Did you ever go to the seaside with your granddad? Yeah,
:23:28. > :23:32.he used to take me all the time. Where did you go? Cleethorpes. We
:23:32. > :23:36.used to have fish and chips before we came home. I'm so hoping this
:23:36. > :23:40.area works as a trigger. Do you think your granddad will enjoy it?
:23:40. > :23:43.I think it will bring back memories of me and my grandma and granddad
:23:43. > :23:49.going to the beach when I was little. If you're taking pictures
:23:49. > :23:53.of us at the beach, he smiles, as much as he can, and kind of looks
:23:53. > :24:03.at you as if to say, I remember being there. I remember us being
:24:03. > :24:04.
:24:04. > :24:12.there together. It kind of makes you realise we won't go again, but
:24:12. > :24:19.if it brings back memories that's all it means. Dementia has such a
:24:19. > :24:23.devastating effect on families. father-in-law loved music. He loved
:24:23. > :24:28.being outdoors in the garden and having kids around him. He just lit
:24:28. > :24:35.up. Everyone has a memory of a garden. Everyone's been in a field.
:24:35. > :24:38.Everyone's picked a buttercup. Everyone's smelled a lavender.
:24:38. > :24:48.dementia you suddenly see the recognition. If we pull this off,
:24:48. > :24:50.
:24:50. > :24:54.that's exactly what this garden A new day and another new challenge.
:24:54. > :24:58.It's day five and Joe's gazebo has arrived, perfect shelter from the
:24:58. > :25:03.rain and shade from the sun, if it ever shines again. I think Keith
:25:03. > :25:07.will love it. It only takes a few hours to put up.
:25:08. > :25:11.It's now more than halfway through and we still haven't got all that
:25:11. > :25:16.gravel laid. Luckily friends and family are here to muck in and get
:25:16. > :25:20.the base layer spread over those paths. You can see the people that
:25:20. > :25:26.have come and turned up. Everybody wants to be a part of this because
:25:26. > :25:30.it's so worthwhile, what we're doing. Dawn whose husband franc has
:25:30. > :25:35.been at the home for three years isn't holding back either.
:25:35. > :25:39.doing this for my franc, to give him somewhere to go and be outside
:25:39. > :25:43.and he can be free and walk about. I don't have to worry about him
:25:43. > :25:47.getting knocked down or hurt. He'll love it, being outside, it will be
:25:47. > :25:51.fantastic, brilliant. For Dawn this project is more than a garden, it's
:25:51. > :26:01.a way to reconnect with her husband of 37 years and I'm keen to meet
:26:01. > :26:02.
:26:02. > :26:06.him. Where are we heading? On the settee? On here. How do you feel
:26:06. > :26:11.when you're with Frank knowing that he might recognise you or have a
:26:11. > :26:15.feeling or there might be no response at all? How does that
:26:15. > :26:22.affect you? It upsets me a lot. But I never show anything while I'm
:26:22. > :26:26.here with Frank. He is my world. He is everything. We talk about things
:26:26. > :26:30.that to anybody else makes no sense at all. I think that's the
:26:30. > :26:36.fascinating thing with dementia, you have to learn to go off into
:26:37. > :26:43.that parallel universe. If you go back to the 60s, mixed marriages
:26:43. > :26:47.didn't happen. Ours did and it's worked. In '97 I had cancer. And
:26:47. > :26:54.Frank never left my side. You don't just walk out because somebody's
:26:54. > :27:00.ill. He's still my Frank. He's still my husband. I still love him.
:27:00. > :27:08.And I will care for him up until whatever time anything happens to
:27:08. > :27:11.him. I will not leave him. thing I've always felt and I feel
:27:11. > :27:19.it very strongly having met the residents today is that everybody
:27:19. > :27:24.should have a label on them that says "Eye surgeon", "civil
:27:24. > :27:30.engineer" all these people have a life, a history, a back story. I
:27:30. > :27:34.can see these garden's going to be really such a thing for the
:27:34. > :27:44.families, the residents, the staff, a special place for everyone to
:27:44. > :27:49.
:27:49. > :27:56.We've only got four days left before Jayne gets to see the garden.
:27:56. > :28:00.We have to get cracking with the rubber path. Made from old tyres,
:28:00. > :28:04.it's super non-slip, but it's a tough and dirty job. Even with our
:28:04. > :28:11.specialist team it takes three days to lay. That's if the heavens don't
:28:11. > :28:14.open again. Without the pathway the residents wouldn't be able to use
:28:14. > :28:24.the garden. It ties the elements that we've put in and makes it
:28:24. > :28:28.usable. Wow! Look at that. Can I feel it? Oh, it's like making a
:28:28. > :28:37.flap Jack. It's exact the consistency. They look a bit like
:28:37. > :28:42.my flap jabgz. It's sticky and porridgey. At last the plants have
:28:42. > :28:45.arrived, all 1,000 of them. Joe is trusting me to keep them alive. I
:28:45. > :28:51.think this is just the job for Jayne's girls. Who needs the boys
:28:51. > :28:56.any way?! Have you guessed what we're doing yet? No. Any ideas?
:28:56. > :28:59.Planting. No but near. You see these flowers, how beautiful they
:28:59. > :29:03.are. These are the flowers. They're resting here. Tomorrow we're going
:29:03. > :29:06.to plant them. There's a very important job that we need to do
:29:06. > :29:11.tonight. We need to put the boxes where they're going to be planted
:29:11. > :29:20.to take them out of the box and plant them. No. Does this give you
:29:20. > :29:29.a clue. Yes water them. Yes! How fun is that going to be. Let me do
:29:29. > :29:33.it. There you go. Give it a nice sprinkle. That's fantastic. No, not
:29:33. > :29:36.too far that way. With the plants ready to go in, it really is a race
:29:36. > :29:40.to finish the path. If you're inspired by this project and the
:29:40. > :29:43.amazing families and our teams of volunteers, you can help us this
:29:43. > :29:47.Friday, we're working on another green space and we need your help.
:29:47. > :29:51.Details coming up at the end of the programme Graeme.
:29:51. > :29:54.-- programme. I'm back from, well, not
:29:54. > :30:04.commentating on the cricket and can't wait to see how they've been
:30:04. > :30:07.
:30:07. > :30:12.getting on without me. I'm excited. You're turning into a gardener.
:30:12. > :30:18.look, they have done well. Look at this. What a transformation.
:30:18. > :30:24.Bandstand or pergola. You can call it a bandstand. I tell you how you
:30:24. > :30:33.make ate bandstand, you put a band in it. What will be here? This will
:30:33. > :30:38.be all planting. What big tall stuff? Yes. Will it be like a
:30:38. > :30:44.herbaceous border? You were nearly there. You said will bit shrubs, or
:30:44. > :30:49.a herbaceous border. Two different things. It is gravel and water. So
:30:49. > :30:58.herbaceous border is something different. We will talk about it
:30:58. > :31:05.later. Is that bouncy running track? Hang on. On your marks!
:31:05. > :31:11.Usain Bolt! That is fab. Well done lads. Well done guys. Do you think
:31:11. > :31:17.Anneka did anything? No. Only joking! Better get cracking on
:31:17. > :31:23.Joe's nower thingy. He is a clever boy and has got this turf with
:31:23. > :31:29.loads of wild flowers growing in them already. It is wild flowers,
:31:29. > :31:35.butter cups are a native wild flower. You don't mow this? You cut
:31:35. > :31:42.it down once a year. It is like a hairy carpet! That is exactly what
:31:42. > :31:52.it is. What is the posh word for a butter cup. Ranunculus. Well it is
:31:52. > :31:53.
:31:53. > :31:59.not posh. It Isola tin. Hello. -- it is Latin. How is it going?
:31:59. > :32:06.have worked hard. It is great. This is very exciting me. Everyone's got
:32:06. > :32:12.hay fever now. Thaf gang are lying around the corner. So when it comes
:32:12. > :32:17.to it, it will be standing up? it needs some heat and sun and it
:32:17. > :32:20.has been travelling all rolled up. But it will be fine. Have you got
:32:21. > :32:29.any anti-histamine? Yes. That is Phil officially off work for the
:32:29. > :32:38.rest of the day. I can feel it. Sadly, Joe's having none of it and
:32:38. > :32:45.we are on meadow duty. Watery eyes and all. I'm pleased with progress.
:32:45. > :32:51.It is a lot of hard graft. It is a dirty business landscaping and 80 %
:32:51. > :33:00.is getting this path and now there is plants on site, it is exciting.
:33:00. > :33:05.Breathing life into this garden. But the shrubs won't plant
:33:05. > :33:10.themselves and volunteers are vital. Hello come in. It is the start of
:33:10. > :33:17.big planting day and the friends and families are back. Thank you
:33:18. > :33:23.for coming along. What we're doing is planting this lot here. So what
:33:23. > :33:28.we need to do, grab a shovel, daig hole, a bit of compost in and then
:33:28. > :33:35.I am sure you're all experienced gardeners and you know thousand
:33:35. > :33:41.plant things. Everyone up for it? Let's get going. This slope could
:33:41. > :33:48.be too steep for Keith and his friends, so Joe has stuck in a load
:33:48. > :33:53.of shrubs to make it safe. These are fantastic volunteers, they know
:33:53. > :33:59.what they're doing. So they should, because they have come from
:33:59. > :34:05.botanical gardens and local allotments. As our gang grows, Joe
:34:05. > :34:10.has the leave us for Gardeners' World. Putting me in charge of the
:34:10. > :34:17.seaside garden. You're going to disappear. We need to know, I love
:34:17. > :34:22.this. It is a beautiful seaside selection. These agapanthus are
:34:22. > :34:28.beautiful. I want you to get creative. There is a selection of
:34:29. > :34:35.plants. The grasses are as if they have, you can Gary them like that.
:34:35. > :34:43.But they are drifting. We want to break up the harshness of the
:34:43. > :34:49.circle? Yes, these are the pony tail tkwrass grass. You imagine
:34:49. > :34:57.them drifting through. You're now in charge. OK. I will see you later.
:34:57. > :35:02.Sir, have a good trip. Can I smell the sea salt from hear. Jie's --
:35:02. > :35:12.Joe's had to go and do something posh and left us with the plans. We
:35:12. > :35:17.have just got the best team of volunteers. Are these geraniums?
:35:17. > :35:24.She said she wanted geraniums. I have got me geraniums. Do you want
:35:25. > :35:30.flow do that? You got your proper boots on today. These are my
:35:30. > :35:39.gardening boots. Instead of your stilettos. That was no good. I have
:35:39. > :35:44.got my walking boots. I need fork in there. Let me have a goo. This
:35:44. > :35:54.is hard work. Needs a man on the job. It does, I know. Is there a
:35:54. > :35:57.
:35:57. > :36:03.man? It is a bit clay-y. Sheffield is built on clay. You're
:36:03. > :36:09.here helping out. Because they told me I would meet somebody famous.
:36:09. > :36:15.But I haven't seen anyone yet. Have you you? These are gabions and the
:36:15. > :36:23.idea is they're a memory cage and hold in the memrifplt he suggested
:36:23. > :36:27.we put bottles in. It is like down at the awe licence. The old emis
:36:27. > :36:37.the. But we might be able to make them look tasteful if they're
:36:37. > :36:43.surrounded by pebbles. Shall we have a go. Bigger ones at the
:36:43. > :36:49.bottom. Are you looking forward to showing it to your mum? Yes it is
:36:50. > :36:58.has been hard keeping ate secret. What are the odds on a tear or two?
:36:58. > :37:08.Very high. It is starting to hurt me wrist a bit that is! Never play
:37:08. > :37:13.the Pinot again. He is too used to be being pampered. While Anneka's
:37:13. > :37:18.farmers have turned for the seaside garden, I have given myself a
:37:18. > :37:22.promotion. Is what happening here? We have been digging roots and
:37:22. > :37:28.stones. Thiss all. And putting topsoil on. All ready for the
:37:28. > :37:33.planting? Yes. Looking beautiful, keep it up. Now Joe's gone, I like
:37:33. > :37:38.being head gardener. I don't have to do the digging, you just order
:37:38. > :37:42.everyone around perfect! We have had a fantastic day. I think we're
:37:42. > :37:47.going to make it. Yes. When Joe left there were three people and
:37:48. > :37:57.then a hundred people appeared. the amount of work they got through,
:37:57. > :38:07.amazing. Proper digging hard graft. And Joe not being here? Did we
:38:07. > :38:08.
:38:08. > :38:13.notice. Joe? Gold medal? I don't know. But we can't slack off now,
:38:13. > :38:21.it is day eight and there is still a lot to do. The seaside garden is
:38:21. > :38:31.lacking something. A beach. Aifr surprise for Anneka. She will love
:38:31. > :38:31.
:38:31. > :38:41.this. Follow me. Anneka. I got a present for you. What is that?
:38:41. > :38:46.
:38:46. > :38:54.Right it is solar powered. Sound of the sea? Listen ready. SOUND OF
:38:54. > :39:04.BIRDS. Isn't that amazing. That is the birds. Seagulls. And hold on.
:39:04. > :39:05.
:39:05. > :39:15.Another one. Rdy? MUSIC: I do like to be by the seaside! That is the
:39:15. > :39:21.
:39:21. > :39:31.best thing. # Oh we do like to be beside the seaside! One more time.
:39:31. > :39:31.
:39:31. > :39:36.Come on lads! While Anneka plays with her new toy, Joe has returned.
:39:36. > :39:40.We had a fantastic day yesterday. You're making me feel bad. I wish I
:39:40. > :39:47.was here. We missed you, but we felt we got loads done yesterday.
:39:47. > :39:52.And we have still got loads to do today. So we recruit the lads from
:39:52. > :39:58.Heeley City farm and the the TA to move the garden furniture. Can we
:39:58. > :40:08.have the strongest here. Just... have got the dog involved. We want
:40:08. > :40:09.
:40:09. > :40:15.to, first we want to get this in place. Hands on, lift up! Nearly
:40:15. > :40:21.had me over there. That is it. That is great. It is going here, but it
:40:21. > :40:31.is the wrong way around. We didn't think about that. What do we do?
:40:31. > :40:32.
:40:32. > :40:42.Spin it round! That is it. Perfect. It is going in there. Lovely.
:40:42. > :40:49.your head! Watch your fingers. work! A few rocks and furniture and
:40:49. > :40:56.we will be back at the seaside. Bring it over now. All right boys.
:40:56. > :41:06.You have got to talk like you're in the TA. He didn't mess about.
:41:06. > :41:12.a cub and a scout. Did you do that? They wouldn't have me! Well done
:41:12. > :41:18.boys. It is going against the wall. It is a nice view across the vista.
:41:18. > :41:24.I think this is the spot. The path is looking good. It looks like a
:41:24. > :41:34.race track. Shall we have a test- drive? First one back to the
:41:34. > :41:47.
:41:47. > :41:51.seaside garden wins. Do go on then. That is it. Get out of it. You took
:41:51. > :41:57.that corner beautifully. On the inside. We're on the final stretch.
:41:57. > :42:07.We're going to do it. We're going to do it. Come on don't stop! Come
:42:07. > :42:13.
:42:13. > :42:20.on! Brian! Chris! Quick. Yes! no! Brian, you're legend! Well done.
:42:20. > :42:26.Good work. Get this man a drink of water. Perfect race track. Hours of
:42:26. > :42:34.fun there. I don't think we need to try it again. It was nice around
:42:34. > :42:40.the bend. The chicane. Nigh je. And the stretch home lap. Coming back
:42:40. > :42:48.up that deep bit. Brian, how was it for row? I think our test proves
:42:48. > :42:52.that this path is wheelchair- friendly. I have heard Keith's
:42:52. > :42:59.favourite plant is the bluebell and his grandchildren are here to help
:42:59. > :43:04.me plant some. Smie - eWhat do you want to put them. They grow
:43:04. > :43:10.naturally in the shady bit and it is quite sunny here. What about
:43:10. > :43:14.over there? Perfect. The best way to make them look natural, like
:43:14. > :43:23.they have just appeared is to throw them on the ground and just plant
:43:23. > :43:29.them exactly where nay land. Who wants to throw them? Me! Throw them
:43:29. > :43:36.over there. Perfect. Just around that fern. Why are we planting
:43:36. > :43:43.bluebells? Because it was one of the first things grand-dad planted.
:43:43. > :43:49.Is it his favourite plant? Did you garden with him Yes used to hold
:43:49. > :43:54.the bag and he would put it in. Will you MEP look after this
:43:54. > :44:02.garden? "Yefplt. -- help look after this guaranteed in the Cuche
:44:02. > :44:11.future? Yes. Well done. What area is this? It is the sensory area. It
:44:11. > :44:16.is about smells. It is furry. They're lamb's tongues. And we have
:44:16. > :44:21.the smellies. Yes and we have got fennel and some nice colours. We
:44:21. > :44:31.have silver and purple. That is a winning combination. Sis it -- is
:44:31. > :44:34.
:44:34. > :44:41.it? Yes it works together well in a sunny spot. That is your hair
:44:41. > :44:50.colour. I know. It is all about stimulating the senses and that
:44:50. > :45:00.Swifty's a clever bloke - Another Gold Medal winner in the
:45:00. > :45:08.
:45:08. > :45:16.Ah. Oh, liquorice. Work hard or play hard, it sure takes it out of
:45:16. > :45:21.you. Joe? Tea? Yes, yes. Coming, Sir Tuffers. Lovely. Oh, lovely cup
:45:21. > :45:26.of rosy. Another great day. Good day, good day. Are you tired?
:45:26. > :45:30.Little bit worn out. You're looking weary. It's quite hard this
:45:30. > :45:35.gardening lark. It's all about stamina. Some of those ladies have
:45:35. > :45:38.better stamina than you. I know! We're nearly there, sun's out,
:45:38. > :45:44.cheers. Cheers. It's nearly the final day, what could possibly go
:45:44. > :45:49.wrong now? Ah, yes, the weather! It's seriously against us and we
:45:49. > :45:53.still have hundreds of plants to put in a wildlife station as well
:45:53. > :45:56.as a ton of pebbles in the seaside garden. With just five hours before
:45:56. > :45:59.we reveal the garden to Jayne, it takes more than a few drops of rain
:45:59. > :46:06.to put off the local Sheffield community.
:46:06. > :46:10.Come on down! Thank you. Thanks so much for coming. We knew there were
:46:10. > :46:15.a nation of untapped green fingers out there. You have propped that
:46:15. > :46:21.fact. We have one day to fin shall the garden. Are you up for you --
:46:21. > :46:25.to finish the garden. Are you up for it? Yes! Who wants to do
:46:25. > :46:29.serious digging. I need something to do. I want you to plant over
:46:29. > :46:35.there. I like the idea of a lavender hedge. All the lavender
:46:35. > :46:42.along this edge. Lovely. An iris hedge as well? No, they're going to
:46:42. > :46:47.be groups, blocks and drifts of iris. Iris hedge? Does he never
:46:47. > :46:49.learn? Phil's gardening skills may not be up to much. Maybe his
:46:49. > :46:53.talents lie elsewhere. # I'm singing and dancing in the
:46:53. > :46:58.rain # Well done girls. Keep going.
:46:58. > :47:03.I'm off again. After a morning of battling the
:47:03. > :47:08.elements, it looks like the rain may beat us after all. It's too wet
:47:08. > :47:13.now to garned. Leave the plants there, we're doing more damage to
:47:13. > :47:17.this garden than good. We may be down, but we're not out. We have to
:47:17. > :47:27.lay a ton of pebbles in the seaside garden. At least this is one job we
:47:27. > :47:32.
:47:32. > :47:37.can do in the rain. Let's do it. This is back breaking. I'm so out
:47:37. > :47:44.of control. Despite the weather today, everybody got in together,
:47:44. > :47:48.got on with it, had a laugh and had some fun. I am a Sheffielder, born
:47:48. > :47:53.and bred. I've been around 65 years and never realised this place
:47:53. > :47:56.existed. It's inspiring to work with people who, they're doing this
:47:57. > :48:04.for love. Love may have got us this far, but what we need now is a
:48:04. > :48:09.break in the weather. It's brightening up! At the 11th hour,
:48:09. > :48:19.we've done it. Tools down. Fantastic! Pat yourselves on the
:48:19. > :48:25.
:48:25. > :48:29.Just ten days ago we arrived at this care home to find a group of
:48:29. > :48:33.residents unable to enjoy the great outdoors. Their garden, though
:48:33. > :48:37.groan and order, one uneven, inaccessible and a hostile space
:48:37. > :48:41.for the ill and elderlyment the challenge was to -- elderly. The
:48:41. > :48:48.challenge was to create a space access tkwroibl all the residents
:48:48. > :48:52.and make a place where families could be together and feel normal
:48:52. > :48:55.again. Jayne and her family wanted nothing more than to spend quality
:48:56. > :49:00.time outdoors with her father in his last years. It would be nice
:49:00. > :49:05.for them to push the wheelchair out, with nice seating and sit and
:49:05. > :49:11.listen to the birds and smell the flowers and everything normal what
:49:11. > :49:15.everybody else does at home. Geneveve seeing her grandfather
:49:15. > :49:18.lose his independence is hard to take. He's a prisoner inside his
:49:18. > :49:23.body, why does he have to be a prisoner inside four walls? To make
:49:23. > :49:27.their dream a reality was not easy. We couldn't have done it on our own.
:49:27. > :49:30.The friends and relatives of Woodland View as well as the local
:49:30. > :49:36.Sheffield community turned up in their droves to return this garden
:49:36. > :49:43.to the people who needed it most. People just come from everywhere to
:49:43. > :49:48.come and help and it's, words cannot describe. In ten very damp
:49:48. > :49:58.days, we've turned this wet corner of Sheffield into a safe and
:49:58. > :50:02.stimulating garden for the residents. Gone is the dangerously
:50:02. > :50:06.uneven concrete paving. Now there's a non-slip Technicolor rubber path
:50:06. > :50:11.that takes you on a trip around this magic space with all its
:50:11. > :50:19.different types of garden. You can relive days at the seaside, chill
:50:19. > :50:25.out in the beach hut or on a boat bench listening to the seagulls. To
:50:25. > :50:31.get your nose going there's a garden with fragrant flowers and
:50:31. > :50:34.heshes -- herbs to excite the senses. Joe's heart-shaped
:50:34. > :50:37.wildflower pasture will be a magnet for wildlife. And finally the
:50:37. > :50:42.gazebo offering shade in the summer and protection from the rain,
:50:42. > :50:46.probably also in the summer. wanted to give the people of
:50:46. > :50:50.Woodland View a garden that they could really enyoi with their loved
:50:50. > :50:59.ones. But have we got it right? Will Jayne be happy with the gang's
:50:59. > :51:05.work? Hi, hello, love, how are you? I'm all right. Excited? Excited,
:51:05. > :51:11.April rehen sieve. What are you expecting? I don't know. Hopefully
:51:11. > :51:14.nice paths for access. Lots of sensory things. I don't know. I'm
:51:14. > :51:18.so apprehensive, everybody else in my family has seen it and I haven't.
:51:18. > :51:23.We're going to walk through this door and go and have a look at this
:51:23. > :51:27.lovely new garden. I'm shaking. Don't worry. Here we go. Ready?
:51:27. > :51:34.Don't worry. Here we go. Ready? Yeah. Three, two, one, let's go.
:51:34. > :51:44.Oh, my God. I said I wasn't going to do this. I want somebody to

:51:51. > :52:01.pinch me because this doesn't seaside garden. It's gorgeous. How
:52:01. > :52:14.

:53:09. > :53:12.the same people they were before they were ill, they're just trapped
:53:12. > :53:17.away in their heads. This will make a massive difference, massive
:53:17. > :53:22.difference. Brilliant. Charlotte what bit do you like best, she's
:53:22. > :53:28.been very helpful? Making the garden and mummy seeing it.
:53:28. > :53:34.That's what the favourite bit about the garden is. And I think granddad
:53:34. > :53:44.will like it too. Shall we go and get him? Can I wheel him? You can

:55:00. > :55:05.yes. Due think, when we first started it, we'd ever get it
:55:05. > :55:09.finished? Not in my wildest dreams, no. I would have never imagined
:55:09. > :55:19.that what we started with would come up like this, never, ever.
