Sheffield - Woodland View Flowerpot Gang

Welcome to the first of the flourp. You ask us to to transform a

neglected plot of lands. But it is not going to be easy, especially as

I'm a bit of a novice gardener. will travel across the country in a

mission to rescue green spaces. Are we ready for business? But we won't

be doing it on our own. You will be helping us. It will be quite a

journey. Our Chelsea gold winning designer, Joe, is in charge. Green

light this way. Anneka will get you to join our gang. What is your

name? David. You're on team. many do 0 need? A dopbz. Phil will

give it his all. Still got it. well as learning what it takes to

be a goodenerment but is he tough enough? It needs a man on the job.

It does. This week we're in Sheffield on the edge of the peak

disstrict. But for one group the outdoors is a dreefplt We are at a

care home for dementia sufferers, where general -- Genevieve visits

her grand Da. He was a big gardener, he had massive roses. Why should he

lose out because this illness has taken over. Our challenge is to

give these people back their freedom. How are you mate. But we

only have ten days. So it is not going to be easy. What is that?

don't want it. You could have told us before we spent time digging it

out. Especially during the wettest summer on record. I'm singing and

dancing in the rain! So we're counting on your support. Later I

will tell you how you can get Hello there, welcome to woods land

View in Sheffield. This garden may look ordered, but to the residents,

it is use whres. With uneven surfaces, this space is not

suitable or safe for wheel chair users and the elderly. But with the

help of the friends and family of the residents here at Woodland

View! We're going to return this garden to the people who need it

most. It won't be easy, but with their help. We're going to

transform this into the most safe and beautiful garden for everyone

Woodland View housings 60 resident s who suffer from dementia. Jane

and her daughters general Neave, Charlotte and Natasha visit her dad,

Keith, every week. After three years, it doesn't get easier.

dad has vascular dementia. There are different types of dementia.

His dementia is shutting him down from the inside out. He can't walk.

He can't... Stand. He can't feed himself. He can do nothing for

himself and now his communication is going. Afrpblgts devoted family

man, he has been married to Margaret for 48 years. As their

only child, Jane has found its hard to watch his decline. To a match a

man will had gone from an independent, hard-working, loving

dad and grand-dad, turn into a shell. Within a very quick time. A

very quick time. My dads was hard- working. He left school and wanted

to be an engineer and that is what he did. He served his apprentice

ship. He's clever man. Don't be fooled that dementia, it only takes,

it takes anybody. You can be a clever man, you can be a not so

clever man. It is no chooser of who it affects. He would pick me up

from school and we'd make tea together. Or my grand-dad would

make tea and we'd watch television. Silly little things. Just little

sings. - o' things. That I can't do any more. It eats you up, knowing

that you will never get those days back. You don't know how lucky you

until they're gone. No way you can describe how it makes you feel. It

kills you. It is like someone's tipped your worlds upside down and

shaken it and then put it into a blender. It is left in shredders.

My dad's face lights up the minute my children come. It just would be

nice for them to go and be able to push the wheel chair out with some

nice seating and sit and listen to the birds and smell the flowers.

Everything normal what everyone else does at home. It is a lovey

area. A beautiful space and it's wasted. The trees are great, but we

can't get out. That is that outside stimulation the patients need.

familys can spends time with their relatives. For the girls, it will

make all the difference. Why does he have to spend his time locked

inside like a prisoner. He is a prisoner in side his own body as it

is, why does he have to be a prisoner inside four walls. We have

a garden, why shouldn't he? So that is our challenge. But with these

people's help we're going to transform this garden into a haven

where the familys can intends time with their loved ones in peace and

tranquility. But before we can start, we need to get an idea of

what we will be doing and Joe's the man with the plan. It is a big

space. Yes it is. It is a great garden, but none of it is

accessible. This slope is Leithal if you're 8 and in a wheel chair.

And the grass. Half of the year it will be so wet you can't use it.

Joe, you're going to have your work cut out. Do you want to see the

plan? You have done a heart for us. Bless! Is that for you two. It

starts with a path running all the way through. So you never feel like

you're coming to a spots or getting stuck. You keep moving all the way

through it and back up to the top. The star of the garden will be a

safe path that will take youen a journey around the space. Through a

sensory garden full of heshs and plant and into a seaside guard on

the reminds people of family holidays tofplt attracts insects

we're buildsing a wieldz life station and this being Britain,

there is a gazebo for those rainy days. Bright colours, smelly

plants? Yes lots of wildlife. At the moment it is barren, so get

insects and birds, so you feel yur among the planting. I think that

gold at Chelsea... Gone to his head. To make this design possible the

first thing we need is to mark out the path. It wiggles. Goods luck,

Phil. Not that wiggley. Imagine you're walk. Anneka, tell him.

Tuffers is more known for his humour, so will be on a steep

learning curve. That's not bad. It is only the middle. It is not the

bad, but we will have to straighten up that bit. That is it. Keep going.

Straight towards the gate. Don't go too far right. Keep going. Wril

yapbt -- blilyapbtsz. Now you can - - brilliant, now you can see the

scale of it. We're going to need key man power during the builds.

The seaside garden, there is a lot of pebbles and railway sleepers

coming in. We need some muscle and planting. There is lts of plants

going in and three of us will be here forever. Ideally, people who

are goods with plants. So yes. hear your digger. Here they come.

Bring on the diggers! Buildsing the path is key. Joe will need his team

of landscaperss help take up the dangerous paving and make way for a

smooth walk way. It is a big job, but if we get it right, it will

make a massive difference to everyone's life. We need to make

its work for all of the generations. It would be nice for, as a group

that we were a bunch of strangers, 60 odds relative strangers that use

Tods pass in corridors and we have become friends. Because they are in

the same zone as we are. They go through the same things. Oh well

this will be great. This will be really great. We're going to do

this for Keith. And the others. will be great for all 60 of

themment - of them. It will be a mammoth build. But Jane won't be

involved. We want to keep the final guards an surprise. You're not

allowed to see the garden. I want it to be a surprise. That will seem

like long time. You're being banned and we have work to do. There is

something familiar about hitting the road again. I need some green

fingered MEP to get the plants into the garden. I know where I will

finds some volunteers. Joe's landscaping is very ambitious, it

is a big site. We are going to needs some man power. It made me

think about 20 years ago we came to Sheffield to do a challenge. We

created a city farm here call tds Heeley City Farm. I just thought

while we're here I could track them down and see if they can help us.

Where will I find green fingered folk? A farm. This is so good to be

back. Hello. Isn't this lovely? How are you? We did as a Challenge. Did

you know? A thousand years ago we came and worked here. Oh I remember

this. Reception. I'm doing a project at the moment on the

outskirts of Sheffield, in a care home, trying to landscape a big

garden. I was wondering if there was any volunteers I could talk to.

Yes sure. The best thing to do is have a wander. Could you help? Can

I put you down? Yes definitely. Which way? Can I put you down as

number two. Would you Reich to -- like to help. Yes. Do you want to

do it? That would be lovely. You're green fingered. I have done plants.

What is your name. David. You're on our team. Well done. I'm loving

this. Thafrpblgt wasn't hard. When the time comes to plant, I have got

my gang. In the garden our designer is facing hi own challenges. When I

design a garden, it is a different set of rules, the aesthetics are

Parra mount and there is practicalities. But here is a

different challenge. It is new. I have gt to make it a practical

space, but it is not all about the aesthetics, but triggering emotions.

Without wanting it to turn into a theme park it must hang together,

but that layer of emotion is more important than the design itself.

The pressure's on. Joe's got to get this right. These guys have had a

tough time. Last year the home was almost closed. Came painers

fighting plans to close two care homes have made with the city's NHS

board. NHS chef Sheffield said I can -- Sheffield says it can't

maintain the homes. The family got together. We said they're not

taking it back. I saw Nick Clegg and sat in his office. If you feel

strongly, you fight for it. Eight months on and the home is safe,

thanks to the families. It was better than winning the lot

Liverpool it was everything. It was that... Pinch me, I is sur Real, -

surreal feeling. They may have saved the home. But now the garden

needs rescuing. Those who fought We're going to move these shrubs.

I'm gok into demonstration mode now. We need to make sure we get a nice

big root ball under here. Crikey, that looks some hard work, doesn't

it? Get the root ball and lift them up, put them in the barrow and get

them over there. Shall we grab a spade? Joe wants to transform this

scruby shrubery into a fantastic heart-shaped wildflower meadow that

will be a magnet for wildlife. And it's next to the gazebo, happy days.

Joe being a thrifty gardener is using the old soil to build up the

mound and recycle the shrubs round the rest of the garden. Clever boy.

Do you want me to get in there my love? Don't get lost in there.

There you go. There's another one. Pop him over there.

Take him down there. Lovely. Where's Joe? I don't know how we're

going to get that tree out. That's a proper tree. There we go. We're

out. I don't know whether we've taken much of a root ball with that,

but there it's gone. What is that? I think we've left the root ball.

We don't want it. Don't want it?! You could have told us before we

spend half an hour digging it out. My lack of gardening skills are

beginning to show. Thank goodness these lot know what they're doing.

Margaret, how are you involved here? My husband Alan is in here.

He's been here since last October. Has he -- have you had enough of

doing this? Yes. Let's have a cup of tea. Don't tell Joe.

lightweight. Margaret tells me Alan used to be a

sportsman himself. So I'm keen to meet him. This is Alan. All right

Alan. I've brought somebody to meet you. Hello Sir. You don't have to

stand up. This is Phil Tufnell. are you mate? All right. Good lad.

He's come to have a chat with you, is that all right? Yeah. Sit down

then. How's it going, all right?

Sheffield Wednesday. The Owls. You was a good footballer, weren't you?

was a good footballer, weren't you? Some would say yes, some would say

Played on the wing, Margaret was saying? Yeah. Don't the wing.

-- down the wing. A semi- professional footballer and junior

champion tennis player, Alan loved sport in life. His job as a postman

meant he was rarely indoors. Being confined now must be especially

hard for him. There's a garden we're making for everyone here,

outside. I need to get back to work. Lovely to meet you Sir. Nice to

meet you. Pleasure to meet you, mate. All the best.

I've been in and seen Alan. What a top fell ya. His eyes lit up when I

talked about Sheffield Wednesday. It's just hit home in my mind, this

is what this garden's all about. Alan was a fit bloke, played sport

and then randomly gets this disease. He's been outdoors all hills life.

It will be great to get him back outdoors and into the garden.

What a day. It's been brilliant though. Gosh, I feel very moved and

I really want to crack on now. People are so passionate about it.

You have to get it right. We've got to get it right. It's not me and

you two, it's us. It's the gang. Let's go. It seems to be going

pretty well. The soil's been barrowed in for the wildflower

garden. We've dug out the path and now it's time to lay the base layer,

gravel. The biggest problem is the not so great British weatherment --

weather. Day two, and where's the great British summer?

# Into each life some rain must fall... #

This is fun, isn't it?! Our team may be pushing on, but we're all

seriously worried about the rain. It's making work on the path really

dangerous and we've got several tons of gravel to get down before

we can lay the rubber. It's a muddy nightmare. This is where there

could be a problem. In a few days we have the path coming along. We

have to get the edging, the subbase in. When you pour the path it has

to be perfectly dry weather. It could put ut whole -- put the whole

schedule back a few days. Whilst the boys struggle on, Tuffers is

having less luck at the cricket. Welcome to the third and final Test

between England and the West Indies. We're at Edgbaston. But the

forecast is depressing. PHONE RINGS Tuffers? Hello mate. How's it going

there. Rain stopped play? Yeah, not a ball bowled, mate. How's it

going? Horrendous weather I have to say. It doesn't stop us, you see,

on a building site. Leave it to us Phil, it's fine. It's under control.

Keep up the good work. We will, we'll keep up the good work. Thanks

for your support. All the best, mate. Bye. Take care, bud.

Hard at it. That's brilliant, sitting around drinking tea eating

sandwiches while we are well, in a mud bath. It takes another day of

battling the wet for us to realise that 48 tons of path gravel and

three tons of seaside pebbles aren't going to move themselves. It

looks like our garden build has reached its tipping point. What we

need now is muscle rather than green fingers. If anyone can get us

an army of man power, it's got to be Anneka. One of the guys at the

farm was saying there's actually a Territorial Army base veneer to

Norton, which is where our home is. So, we thought we might just pop in.

# I need a hero # I'm holding out for a hero #

Hi guys. My name's Ed. I'm the OC of 106 field squadron here.

look perfect. We're looking for some really strong guys. We have

about three tons of pebbles to shift. OK. Would you be able to do

that No problem. Really? Brilliant. These are the guys who wherever

they are, they can put up a bridge overnight. In fact, why aren't you

doing our whole project? They are brilliant the TA. If they're on

board, I feel confident about this project now. Brilliant. The boys

from the TA have rolled up. Bit of rain ain't going to put them off.

The first thing would be to top dress the paths as we go through.

Path winds around the garden for 240 metres and all of it needs a

gravel base layer, all 48 tons of the stuff! Thank God for the TA.

I don't know what we'd have done without my beefy soldiers. They're

laying gravel, shifting branches and cementing walls. I think I love

them. Lovely to see you. Thank you so much. I hear everyone's been a

complete star. Absolute star, particularly the TA guys. Didn't I

say I would get good guys. We've not paid him to say that, honest.

It's good to do something for the community. Some of the residents no

doubt perhaps have no-one at all apart from the staff and people,

maybe if we see one of the residents with a smile on their

face, it will really almost bring a tear to the eye. It will bring a

tear to my eye if we don't finish it. We're nearly halfway through

and we still have to turn this soil into a sunny seaside garden. So

this is going to be like a beach hut for our seaside area. That will

be fun. Did you ever go to the seaside with your granddad? Yeah,

he used to take me all the time. Where did you go? Cleethorpes. We

used to have fish and chips before we came home. I'm so hoping this

area works as a trigger. Do you think your granddad will enjoy it?

I think it will bring back memories of me and my grandma and granddad

going to the beach when I was little. If you're taking pictures

of us at the beach, he smiles, as much as he can, and kind of looks

at you as if to say, I remember being there. I remember us being

there together. It kind of makes you realise we won't go again, but

if it brings back memories that's all it means. Dementia has such a

devastating effect on families. father-in-law loved music. He loved

being outdoors in the garden and having kids around him. He just lit

up. Everyone has a memory of a garden. Everyone's been in a field.

Everyone's picked a buttercup. Everyone's smelled a lavender.

dementia you suddenly see the recognition. If we pull this off,

that's exactly what this garden A new day and another new challenge.

It's day five and Joe's gazebo has arrived, perfect shelter from the

rain and shade from the sun, if it ever shines again. I think Keith

will love it. It only takes a few hours to put up.

It's now more than halfway through and we still haven't got all that

gravel laid. Luckily friends and family are here to muck in and get

the base layer spread over those paths. You can see the people that

have come and turned up. Everybody wants to be a part of this because

it's so worthwhile, what we're doing. Dawn whose husband franc has

been at the home for three years isn't holding back either.

doing this for my franc, to give him somewhere to go and be outside

and he can be free and walk about. I don't have to worry about him

getting knocked down or hurt. He'll love it, being outside, it will be

fantastic, brilliant. For Dawn this project is more than a garden, it's

a way to reconnect with her husband of 37 years and I'm keen to meet

him. Where are we heading? On the settee? On here. How do you feel

when you're with Frank knowing that he might recognise you or have a

feeling or there might be no response at all? How does that

affect you? It upsets me a lot. But I never show anything while I'm

here with Frank. He is my world. He is everything. We talk about things

that to anybody else makes no sense at all. I think that's the

fascinating thing with dementia, you have to learn to go off into

that parallel universe. If you go back to the 60s, mixed marriages

didn't happen. Ours did and it's worked. In '97 I had cancer. And

Frank never left my side. You don't just walk out because somebody's

ill. He's still my Frank. He's still my husband. I still love him.

And I will care for him up until whatever time anything happens to

him. I will not leave him. thing I've always felt and I feel

it very strongly having met the residents today is that everybody

should have a label on them that says "Eye surgeon", "civil

engineer" all these people have a life, a history, a back story. I

can see these garden's going to be really such a thing for the

families, the residents, the staff, a special place for everyone to

We've only got four days left before Jayne gets to see the garden.

We have to get cracking with the rubber path. Made from old tyres,

it's super non-slip, but it's a tough and dirty job. Even with our

specialist team it takes three days to lay. That's if the heavens don't

open again. Without the pathway the residents wouldn't be able to use

the garden. It ties the elements that we've put in and makes it

usable. Wow! Look at that. Can I feel it? Oh, it's like making a

flap Jack. It's exact the consistency. They look a bit like

my flap jabgz. It's sticky and porridgey. At last the plants have

arrived, all 1,000 of them. Joe is trusting me to keep them alive. I

think this is just the job for Jayne's girls. Who needs the boys

any way?! Have you guessed what we're doing yet? No. Any ideas?

Planting. No but near. You see these flowers, how beautiful they

are. These are the flowers. They're resting here. Tomorrow we're going

to plant them. There's a very important job that we need to do

tonight. We need to put the boxes where they're going to be planted

to take them out of the box and plant them. No. Does this give you

a clue. Yes water them. Yes! How fun is that going to be. Let me do

it. There you go. Give it a nice sprinkle. That's fantastic. No, not

too far that way. With the plants ready to go in, it really is a race

to finish the path. If you're inspired by this project and the

amazing families and our teams of volunteers, you can help us this

Friday, we're working on another green space and we need your help.

Details coming up at the end of the programme Graeme.

-- programme. I'm back from, well, not

commentating on the cricket and can't wait to see how they've been

getting on without me. I'm excited. You're turning into a gardener.

look, they have done well. Look at this. What a transformation.

Bandstand or pergola. You can call it a bandstand. I tell you how you

make ate bandstand, you put a band in it. What will be here? This will

be all planting. What big tall stuff? Yes. Will it be like a

herbaceous border? You were nearly there. You said will bit shrubs, or

a herbaceous border. Two different things. It is gravel and water. So

herbaceous border is something different. We will talk about it

later. Is that bouncy running track? Hang on. On your marks!

Usain Bolt! That is fab. Well done lads. Well done guys. Do you think

Anneka did anything? No. Only joking! Better get cracking on

Joe's nower thingy. He is a clever boy and has got this turf with

loads of wild flowers growing in them already. It is wild flowers,

butter cups are a native wild flower. You don't mow this? You cut

it down once a year. It is like a hairy carpet! That is exactly what

it is. What is the posh word for a butter cup. Ranunculus. Well it is

not posh. It Isola tin. Hello. -- it is Latin. How is it going?

have worked hard. It is great. This is very exciting me. Everyone's got

hay fever now. Thaf gang are lying around the corner. So when it comes

to it, it will be standing up? it needs some heat and sun and it

has been travelling all rolled up. But it will be fine. Have you got

any anti-histamine? Yes. That is Phil officially off work for the

rest of the day. I can feel it. Sadly, Joe's having none of it and

we are on meadow duty. Watery eyes and all. I'm pleased with progress.

It is a lot of hard graft. It is a dirty business landscaping and 80 %

is getting this path and now there is plants on site, it is exciting.

Breathing life into this garden. But the shrubs won't plant

themselves and volunteers are vital. Hello come in. It is the start of

big planting day and the friends and families are back. Thank you

for coming along. What we're doing is planting this lot here. So what

we need to do, grab a shovel, daig hole, a bit of compost in and then

I am sure you're all experienced gardeners and you know thousand

plant things. Everyone up for it? Let's get going. This slope could

be too steep for Keith and his friends, so Joe has stuck in a load

of shrubs to make it safe. These are fantastic volunteers, they know

what they're doing. So they should, because they have come from

botanical gardens and local allotments. As our gang grows, Joe

has the leave us for Gardeners' World. Putting me in charge of the

seaside garden. You're going to disappear. We need to know, I love

this. It is a beautiful seaside selection. These agapanthus are

beautiful. I want you to get creative. There is a selection of

plants. The grasses are as if they have, you can Gary them like that.

But they are drifting. We want to break up the harshness of the

circle? Yes, these are the pony tail tkwrass grass. You imagine

them drifting through. You're now in charge. OK. I will see you later.

Sir, have a good trip. Can I smell the sea salt from hear. Jie's --

Joe's had to go and do something posh and left us with the plans. We

have just got the best team of volunteers. Are these geraniums?

She said she wanted geraniums. I have got me geraniums. Do you want

flow do that? You got your proper boots on today. These are my

gardening boots. Instead of your stilettos. That was no good. I have

got my walking boots. I need fork in there. Let me have a goo. This

is hard work. Needs a man on the job. It does, I know. Is there a

man? It is a bit clay-y. Sheffield is built on clay. You're

here helping out. Because they told me I would meet somebody famous.

But I haven't seen anyone yet. Have you you? These are gabions and the

idea is they're a memory cage and hold in the memrifplt he suggested

we put bottles in. It is like down at the awe licence. The old emis

the. But we might be able to make them look tasteful if they're

surrounded by pebbles. Shall we have a go. Bigger ones at the

bottom. Are you looking forward to showing it to your mum? Yes it is

has been hard keeping ate secret. What are the odds on a tear or two?

Very high. It is starting to hurt me wrist a bit that is! Never play

the Pinot again. He is too used to be being pampered. While Anneka's

farmers have turned for the seaside garden, I have given myself a

promotion. Is what happening here? We have been digging roots and

stones. Thiss all. And putting topsoil on. All ready for the

planting? Yes. Looking beautiful, keep it up. Now Joe's gone, I like

being head gardener. I don't have to do the digging, you just order

everyone around perfect! We have had a fantastic day. I think we're

going to make it. Yes. When Joe left there were three people and

then a hundred people appeared. the amount of work they got through,

amazing. Proper digging hard graft. And Joe not being here? Did we

notice. Joe? Gold medal? I don't know. But we can't slack off now,

it is day eight and there is still a lot to do. The seaside garden is

lacking something. A beach. Aifr surprise for Anneka. She will love

this. Follow me. Anneka. I got a present for you. What is that?

Right it is solar powered. Sound of the sea? Listen ready. SOUND OF

BIRDS. Isn't that amazing. That is the birds. Seagulls. And hold on.

Another one. Rdy? MUSIC: I do like to be by the seaside! That is the

best thing. # Oh we do like to be beside the seaside! One more time.

Come on lads! While Anneka plays with her new toy, Joe has returned.

We had a fantastic day yesterday. You're making me feel bad. I wish I

was here. We missed you, but we felt we got loads done yesterday.

And we have still got loads to do today. So we recruit the lads from

Heeley City farm and the the TA to move the garden furniture. Can we

have the strongest here. Just... have got the dog involved. We want

to, first we want to get this in place. Hands on, lift up! Nearly

had me over there. That is it. That is great. It is going here, but it

is the wrong way around. We didn't think about that. What do we do?

Spin it round! That is it. Perfect. It is going in there. Lovely.

your head! Watch your fingers. work! A few rocks and furniture and

we will be back at the seaside. Bring it over now. All right boys.

You have got to talk like you're in the TA. He didn't mess about.

a cub and a scout. Did you do that? They wouldn't have me! Well done

boys. It is going against the wall. It is a nice view across the vista.

I think this is the spot. The path is looking good. It looks like a

race track. Shall we have a test- drive? First one back to the

seaside garden wins. Do go on then. That is it. Get out of it. You took

that corner beautifully. On the inside. We're on the final stretch.

We're going to do it. We're going to do it. Come on don't stop! Come

on! Brian! Chris! Quick. Yes! no! Brian, you're legend! Well done.

Good work. Get this man a drink of water. Perfect race track. Hours of

fun there. I don't think we need to try it again. It was nice around

the bend. The chicane. Nigh je. And the stretch home lap. Coming back

up that deep bit. Brian, how was it for row? I think our test proves

that this path is wheelchair- friendly. I have heard Keith's

favourite plant is the bluebell and his grandchildren are here to help

me plant some. Smie - eWhat do you want to put them. They grow

naturally in the shady bit and it is quite sunny here. What about

over there? Perfect. The best way to make them look natural, like

they have just appeared is to throw them on the ground and just plant

them exactly where nay land. Who wants to throw them? Me! Throw them

over there. Perfect. Just around that fern. Why are we planting

bluebells? Because it was one of the first things grand-dad planted.

Is it his favourite plant? Did you garden with him Yes used to hold

the bag and he would put it in. Will you MEP look after this

garden? "Yefplt. -- help look after this guaranteed in the Cuche

future? Yes. Well done. What area is this? It is the sensory area. It

is about smells. It is furry. They're lamb's tongues. And we have

the smellies. Yes and we have got fennel and some nice colours. We

have silver and purple. That is a winning combination. Sis it -- is

it? Yes it works together well in a sunny spot. That is your hair

you. Joe? Tea? Yes, yes. Coming, Sir Tuffers. Lovely. Oh, lovely cup

of rosy. Another great day. Good day, good day. Are you tired?

Little bit worn out. You're looking weary. It's quite hard this

gardening lark. It's all about stamina. Some of those ladies have

better stamina than you. I know! We're nearly there, sun's out,

cheers. Cheers. It's nearly the final day, what could possibly go

wrong now? Ah, yes, the weather! It's seriously against us and we

still have hundreds of plants to put in a wildlife station as well

as a ton of pebbles in the seaside garden. With just five hours before

we reveal the garden to Jayne, it takes more than a few drops of rain

to put off the local Sheffield community.

Come on down! Thank you. Thanks so much for coming. We knew there were

a nation of untapped green fingers out there. You have propped that

fact. We have one day to fin shall the garden. Are you up for you --

to finish the garden. Are you up for it? Yes! Who wants to do

serious digging. I need something to do. I want you to plant over

there. I like the idea of a lavender hedge. All the lavender

along this edge. Lovely. An iris hedge as well? No, they're going to

be groups, blocks and drifts of iris. Iris hedge? Does he never

learn? Phil's gardening skills may not be up to much. Maybe his

talents lie elsewhere. # I'm singing and dancing in the

rain # Well done girls. Keep going.

I'm off again. After a morning of battling the

elements, it looks like the rain may beat us after all. It's too wet

now to garned. Leave the plants there, we're doing more damage to

this garden than good. We may be down, but we're not out. We have to

lay a ton of pebbles in the seaside garden. At least this is one job we

can do in the rain. Let's do it. This is back breaking. I'm so out

of control. Despite the weather today, everybody got in together,

got on with it, had a laugh and had some fun. I am a Sheffielder, born

and bred. I've been around 65 years and never realised this place

existed. It's inspiring to work with people who, they're doing this

for love. Love may have got us this far, but what we need now is a

break in the weather. It's brightening up! At the 11th hour,

we've done it. Tools down. Fantastic! Pat yourselves on the

Just ten days ago we arrived at this care home to find a group of

residents unable to enjoy the great outdoors. Their garden, though

groan and order, one uneven, inaccessible and a hostile space

for the ill and elderlyment the challenge was to -- elderly. The

challenge was to create a space access tkwroibl all the residents

and make a place where families could be together and feel normal

again. Jayne and her family wanted nothing more than to spend quality

time outdoors with her father in his last years. It would be nice

for them to push the wheelchair out, with nice seating and sit and

listen to the birds and smell the flowers and everything normal what

everybody else does at home. Geneveve seeing her grandfather

lose his independence is hard to take. He's a prisoner inside his

body, why does he have to be a prisoner inside four walls? To make

their dream a reality was not easy. We couldn't have done it on our own.

The friends and relatives of Woodland View as well as the local

Sheffield community turned up in their droves to return this garden

to the people who needed it most. People just come from everywhere to

come and help and it's, words cannot describe. In ten very damp

days, we've turned this wet corner of Sheffield into a safe and

stimulating garden for the residents. Gone is the dangerously

uneven concrete paving. Now there's a non-slip Technicolor rubber path

that takes you on a trip around this magic space with all its

different types of garden. You can relive days at the seaside, chill

out in the beach hut or on a boat bench listening to the seagulls. To

get your nose going there's a garden with fragrant flowers and

heshes -- herbs to excite the senses. Joe's heart-shaped

wildflower pasture will be a magnet for wildlife. And finally the

gazebo offering shade in the summer and protection from the rain,

probably also in the summer. wanted to give the people of

Woodland View a garden that they could really enyoi with their loved

ones. But have we got it right? Will Jayne be happy with the gang's

work? Hi, hello, love, how are you? I'm all right. Excited? Excited,

We're going to walk through this door and go and have a look at this

lovely new garden. I'm shaking. Don't worry. Here we go. Ready?

Don't worry. Here we go. Ready? Yeah. Three, two, one, let's go.

What do you think of the garden? It's beautiful isn't it? Hello Dawn,

my love, how are you. Hello Franc. How are you? How's it going? OK. OK

yes. Due think, when we first started it, we'd ever get it

finished? Not in my wildest dreams, no. I would have never imagined

Thanks everybody. Give yourselves a big cheer.

CHEERING Music.

What better way to christen the band stand, sorry gazebo, than with

a band? As the garden comes alive to the Sound of Music, it's our

incredible flower pot gang who have made this dream possible. It's

amazing. It's wonderful. It's exactly what we wanted. The

residents present and future will be thrilled to bits to have this.

safe. I think overwhelmed doesn't even touch the sides. It's just

something that you dream of. It's not something that happens. Ten

days ago it was just grass and trees and broken paths. Now it's an

amazing space, down to all these people who have given their time

and effort and it's just something else. It will make such a

difference to these residents. You know, to me and my family and the
