0:00:02 > 0:00:04With her can-do attitude, love of simple gardens
0:00:04 > 0:00:06- and decades of experience...- Hello.
0:00:06 > 0:00:10..Charlie Dimmock is one of Britain's best loved gardeners.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Looking good, boys.
0:00:12 > 0:00:15But the new kids on the gardening block are the Rich brothers.
0:00:15 > 0:00:19We will be the brothers that change people's perceptions of gardens.
0:00:19 > 0:00:22Winners of multiple medals at the Chelsea Flower Show...
0:00:22 > 0:00:26- Amazing.- ..the boys have become known for
0:00:26 > 0:00:28their dramatic outdoor spaces.
0:00:30 > 0:00:34Now, these two different generations of gardening are going head-to-head.
0:00:34 > 0:00:38I know they have got a gold medal, but I can come up with a few ideas.
0:00:38 > 0:00:42They are meeting frustrated garden owners across the country.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45The photos made it look tiny.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47- It is, isn't it?- I'm sure you've seen larger.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49- I don't know what to do with it. - And will each pitch them
0:00:49 > 0:00:53- a design based on their needs...- Wow!- ..and budget.
0:00:53 > 0:00:54That looks really exciting.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56It doesn't look like it could be our garden.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58The winner...
0:00:58 > 0:01:00Whoo!
0:01:00 > 0:01:02..brings their design to life...
0:01:02 > 0:01:03Hold on, hold on.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07- Sweet as a nut.- ..and the loser has to help them build it.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10I'm getting irritated now, faffing around.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12This is what happens...
0:01:12 > 0:01:13Does he ever get irritating?
0:01:13 > 0:01:16- All the time.- ..when different styles collide...
0:01:16 > 0:01:18- Who chose these? - One, two, three.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21This looks like your design.
0:01:21 > 0:01:22Yes!
0:01:22 > 0:01:25..to turn garden dreams into reality.
0:01:25 > 0:01:26- Wow!- Wow!
0:01:26 > 0:01:28Open your eyes.
0:01:28 > 0:01:29Wow!
0:01:29 > 0:01:31- It's amazing. - It is beautiful.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41So, whose garden will Charlie
0:01:41 > 0:01:45and the Rich brothers be competing for this time?
0:01:45 > 0:01:47So, it looks like we are off to Wiltshire to see Usha.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51It looks really rural, I have to say, looks lovely.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53Usha Gupta swapped living in Maidenhead
0:01:53 > 0:01:57for a more peaceful countryside location ten years ago,
0:01:57 > 0:02:00settling in the market town of Marlborough in Wiltshire.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04I'm a country girl, I do like my space,
0:02:04 > 0:02:06and hence the reason I have moved here.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08I just felt claustrophobic in the city.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11I love it here. I love the wide-open spaces.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13This is a detached bungalow.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16It has got a nice little garden, not too big.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Usha loves the outdoors,
0:02:19 > 0:02:21but doesn't spend time in her own garden
0:02:21 > 0:02:24- because it is an uninspiring, wide and shallow plot.- Since
0:02:24 > 0:02:26last year I have been thinking about doing
0:02:26 > 0:02:28the garden, and I had loads of ideas,
0:02:28 > 0:02:31but I couldn't work out how I was going to implement them.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34I mean, has she given any influence about what she wants?
0:02:34 > 0:02:38Yes, so she is mad on wildlife and bringing wildlife into the garden
0:02:38 > 0:02:40and reconnecting with nature.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43I would love to see birds, butterflies, bees, etc.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46I also love taking a lot of photographs.
0:02:46 > 0:02:51Having trained as a microbiologist, Usha loves to see nature close up,
0:02:51 > 0:02:53and her great passion is photography.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57She's an amateur photographer, loves taking photographs of plants,
0:02:57 > 0:03:01insects, so it could be a really nice point to fix
0:03:01 > 0:03:03on when we are designing.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06Having plants with flower buds or petals
0:03:06 > 0:03:09or really interesting leaves, I would love to take
0:03:09 > 0:03:11that detailed photograph.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14That will ll help me with my hobby.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16That would be beautiful.
0:03:16 > 0:03:17It is pretty cool design-wise,
0:03:17 > 0:03:20because this is her hobby and she's going to get so much more from
0:03:20 > 0:03:23- the garden.- It will be great, it's more about the details, isn't it?
0:03:23 > 0:03:25- What you can see through the lens. - Exactly.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29But Usha also wants her garden to be practical, as well.
0:03:29 > 0:03:30Since she moved to Marlborough,
0:03:30 > 0:03:34she has made a concerted effort to grow her own fruit and veg.
0:03:36 > 0:03:41Growing my own is so very important because you just cannot get
0:03:41 > 0:03:45that taste, the flavour, as pick your own.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47Sometimes the food doesn't even come inside.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50If I do peas, I'm just eating them while I'm out there.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52We definitely need to unite the garden
0:03:52 > 0:03:56in a wildlife theme, vegetables, quite wholesome.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59Usha is eager to transform her garden into a wildlife haven
0:03:59 > 0:04:05and this is reflected in how much she is prepared to spend.
0:04:05 > 0:04:09The budget for the garden redesign is £6,000.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12That's not bad, is it, for a small garden?
0:04:12 > 0:04:17- Really nice.- This wildlife garden is going to be sights, sounds,
0:04:17 > 0:04:22and the taste of the vegetables, the smells, and yes,
0:04:22 > 0:04:24I will be in my haven.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Peace and quiet, it'll be magic.
0:04:27 > 0:04:32£6,000 and a manageable-sized garden.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34This is a great chance for the designers
0:04:34 > 0:04:36to produce something special,
0:04:36 > 0:04:41but Usha has a keen eye for detail and will notice any imperfections.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46A bit of frost and a bit of peace is nice.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48With expectations running high,
0:04:48 > 0:04:51Charlie and the brothers head to the Wiltshire countryside
0:04:51 > 0:04:52to take a closer look.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00They will be looking for clues to inspire their design,
0:05:00 > 0:05:03to create the kind of peaceful retreat Usha is looking for.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07This is my attempt at a vegetable garden.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10- Brilliant.- It is good.- Is that something that is important to you?
0:05:10 > 0:05:11It is very important to me.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13I love my veg straight from the garden into the pot,
0:05:13 > 0:05:16- or sometimes not even that.- Just straight in the mouth.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18Straight in the mouth, especially peas.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21What do you feel that you need from the garden?
0:05:21 > 0:05:23Anything that attracts butterflies,
0:05:23 > 0:05:26birds, insects, amphibians, whatever, I would be in my element.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29I like my photography. I do a lot of macrophotography.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32Macrophotography, that's when you zoom right in
0:05:32 > 0:05:34and it's really quite arty?
0:05:34 > 0:05:35It's a macro lens, so you can get
0:05:35 > 0:05:37really quite close to the specimen that
0:05:37 > 0:05:40- you want to photograph.- I think it is going to be really fun to play
0:05:40 > 0:05:41around with that and try to create
0:05:41 > 0:05:43a space that attracts all this wildlife
0:05:43 > 0:05:45for you to go mad and take photos.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47That would be magical, that would be heaven for me.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50What would be your nightmare design?
0:05:50 > 0:05:53A total nightmare would be if that conifer there was still here!
0:05:53 > 0:05:57And also, I would like a water feature, perhaps a cascading one.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01So it's going to be a garden where more is definitely more.
0:06:01 > 0:06:02Yes, I think so. I think so!
0:06:05 > 0:06:09While Charlie gets more of a steer from Usha on her likes and dislikes,
0:06:09 > 0:06:12the boys take a nosy around the house for design clues.
0:06:14 > 0:06:19Very nice. You can tell that she obviously loves her photography,
0:06:19 > 0:06:20especially macrophotography.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22And the little frogs as well.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24The ponds and everything, bring them in.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27- It is quite warm, isn't it? - Very warm colours.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29Dried seed heads here. What is
0:06:29 > 0:06:31apparent is that she loves bringing stuff from
0:06:31 > 0:06:34- the garden into her house. - Perfect to have some nice
0:06:34 > 0:06:37- cutting plants that she can bring in all year round.- Perfect.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39- Plenty.- Crack on.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42The boys have picked up on Usha's eye for detail,
0:06:42 > 0:06:43and love of colour.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48When it comes to the design, do you
0:06:48 > 0:06:51like sort of very strong, bold shapes,
0:06:51 > 0:06:53or would you like it wavy and soft?
0:06:53 > 0:06:55I prefer it wavy and soft.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58At my previous property, I did have triangular sharp lines,
0:06:58 > 0:07:01and that worked, but I prefer it wavy and soft, please.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04They may have £6,000 to spend,
0:07:04 > 0:07:07but Usha wants a lot packed into this garden.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10Not only does it need to have an instant impact,
0:07:10 > 0:07:12she wants it to attract wildlife,
0:07:12 > 0:07:15so it will also need to evolve over time.
0:07:19 > 0:07:20Brimming with ideas,
0:07:20 > 0:07:24Charlie and the boys set to work to come up with a winning design.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27Each of them will try to create Usha's dream garden
0:07:27 > 0:07:30within her £6,000 budget.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35Usha will then choose the winner,
0:07:35 > 0:07:38and the loser will help the victor build the garden.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41But who will she go for?
0:07:41 > 0:07:44Will it be the boys, who have seen first-hand Usha's talent
0:07:44 > 0:07:46for close-up photography?
0:07:46 > 0:07:49Or Charlie, who knows that she prefers
0:07:49 > 0:07:53soft, curvy landscapes to angles and sharp edges?
0:07:53 > 0:07:55Now, I have gone with a terracotta feel.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58- OK.- This is going to be such a sunny garden,
0:07:58 > 0:08:02I think that would be lovely and warm and feel soft.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05- Brilliant.- The main run is a diagonal patio
0:08:05 > 0:08:08across to the vegetable area.
0:08:08 > 0:08:12There is a terracotta pot like this at the end of your walkway,
0:08:12 > 0:08:16so it is a view encouraging you down the garden.
0:08:17 > 0:08:22Charlie knows that Usha loves rich, vibrant colours.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24So she is using a warm, earthy scheme,
0:08:24 > 0:08:26dominated by a large terrace.
0:08:26 > 0:08:30But the boys are trying something a little different.
0:08:30 > 0:08:31We wanted to create a space that you
0:08:31 > 0:08:35could immerse yourself in and be very soft and natural,
0:08:35 > 0:08:38but also replicates your love and passion for macrophotography.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40- Brilliant.- So the really exciting
0:08:40 > 0:08:41thing about this design is the detail.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44What we have focused on is the pattern and
0:08:44 > 0:08:46structure of a dragonfly wing.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48As you can see here, it is very angular,
0:08:48 > 0:08:51- but also very soft around the edges. - Yes.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Charlie hasn't forgotten Usha's hobby either,
0:08:54 > 0:08:57and has chosen plants that look amazing in close-up.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59We have a lot of alpines,
0:08:59 > 0:09:03because I thought they'll be great for your macrophotography
0:09:03 > 0:09:06because they have really good textures.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10The foliage is lovely, and the flowers are very intricate.
0:09:10 > 0:09:15The next challenge was to transform Usha's tired old veg plot
0:09:15 > 0:09:17into something more inspiring.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19- The vegetable patch.- OK.
0:09:19 > 0:09:26Raised borders, with a central bed there that is not raised.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29What we have done is to raise the vegetable beds out of the ground and
0:09:29 > 0:09:31out of the pattern. You'll never have seen these.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34They are quite irregular shaped veg beds
0:09:34 > 0:09:37and you can walk around them and you can maintain those beds
0:09:37 > 0:09:39very easily. Because they are such an irregular shape,
0:09:39 > 0:09:41it would be nice to make them out of steel,
0:09:41 > 0:09:43and that adds quite a lot of texture as well,
0:09:43 > 0:09:45and it is a beautiful backdrop for plants.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48What is the shelf life on steel?
0:09:48 > 0:09:50BOTH: Forever.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52The designs may be very different,
0:09:52 > 0:09:56but both designers have included the essential feature
0:09:56 > 0:09:57in any wildlife garden.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59The pond has got moving water.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02- Brilliant.- Keeping the terracotta theme going,
0:10:02 > 0:10:05I have gone with the Ali Baba pot.
0:10:05 > 0:10:09Tipped on its side, so it would be a gentle sound,
0:10:09 > 0:10:14not a gushing sound that will make you want to visit the bathroom.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Quite a large wildlife pond for you.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20- OK.- That is a great way to encourage wildlife there
0:10:20 > 0:10:22and great for the photography.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24It is surrounded by wildflower meadows.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28This is actually designed around leaf veins,
0:10:28 > 0:10:30so you have got these lovely veins here,
0:10:30 > 0:10:33and it also allows you to travel around the garden,
0:10:33 > 0:10:35so you have got this lovely journey.
0:10:35 > 0:10:39Charlie and the brothers have taken totally different approaches
0:10:39 > 0:10:41with their designs.
0:10:41 > 0:10:46It is now up to Usha to decide which one she wants for her £6,000.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Right, I am really, really torn.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55One of these designs is very traditional, something I'm used to,
0:10:55 > 0:10:58and that is Charlie's one.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00And the other one is the Rich brothers,
0:11:00 > 0:11:03that is very different to what I'm used to.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06In my head, I have not seen this steel material
0:11:06 > 0:11:09and I can't visualise how it's going to work.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12For me, that is the daring bit.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14Charlie's one, I love the warm terracotta,
0:11:14 > 0:11:17I love the pond area and the rockery.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20The Rich brothers, for me,
0:11:20 > 0:11:22they kind of lack the warmth of the terracotta,
0:11:22 > 0:11:24which wasn't initially an issue.
0:11:25 > 0:11:30Yes, so do I go for the daring Rich brothers design,
0:11:30 > 0:11:34or do I go for the traditional Charlie design?
0:11:34 > 0:11:37A very difficult decision to be made.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42Well, only one design can win.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45So, will it be the Rich brothers with their new patio inspired by
0:11:45 > 0:11:47a dragonfly wing?
0:11:50 > 0:11:54Or will it be Charlie, with her warm terracotta landscaping,
0:11:54 > 0:11:58selection of alpine plants, and an Ali Baba pot?
0:12:01 > 0:12:03It's decision time.
0:12:06 > 0:12:07Hello, guys.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11- ALL: Hello.- Thank you for your hard work in preparing the designs.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15But I have decided to go for...
0:12:17 > 0:12:19I'm so sorry, Charlie.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22- There you go.- Awesome news, thank you very much.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25So, what was it that swung this design for you?
0:12:25 > 0:12:27Basically because it's new to me.
0:12:27 > 0:12:28I'm not used to those materials
0:12:28 > 0:12:33and it looks as though it is going to work, and I'm a fair risk taker,
0:12:33 > 0:12:35and I think you sold it to me really.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39- Wow!- It'll be nice to have slightly different vegetable beds.
0:12:39 > 0:12:43It's nice to put a mix in there, a contemporary twist.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46- We shall see, but I'm excited about it.- We've got every faith.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49- Don't worry. It will look amazing. - It looks like a lot of hard work.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51Yes, of course.
0:12:51 > 0:12:52Hard work for you!
0:12:54 > 0:12:57- We will be sitting back. - I might be on a sickie that day!
0:12:57 > 0:12:59The boys are thrilled.
0:12:59 > 0:13:03But there will be a lot of work to do to make their design a reality.
0:13:03 > 0:13:07And they will need to keep Charlie on side to pull it off.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13It is the first day of the build.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15Before any parts of the new design
0:13:15 > 0:13:18can go in, that conifer has to come out.
0:13:21 > 0:13:25It is not just blocking the light, but dominating the space.
0:13:25 > 0:13:30At 4.5 metres tall and 1.5 metres wide, it's a monster.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36So tree surgeon Mark has to attack it in stages.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40If you want to remove a tree,
0:13:40 > 0:13:44contact your local council to check it has not got a preservation order,
0:13:44 > 0:13:46and always employ a professional.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51To get rid of the roots will cost a lot of extra time and money,
0:13:51 > 0:13:54so the Rich brothers are going to keep the stump.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56It may look a bit funny now,
0:13:56 > 0:14:00but they have one or two ideas up their sleeves to upcycle it.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05It's two days later,
0:14:05 > 0:14:07and while the Rich brothers are off-site
0:14:07 > 0:14:09working on the finer details of their design,
0:14:09 > 0:14:12project manager Kate,
0:14:12 > 0:14:14with landscapers Scott and Adam on the team,
0:14:14 > 0:14:17are at Usha's house ready to start the build.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23One of the most complicated parts of
0:14:23 > 0:14:26the design is the new vegetable garden within the patio.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32It will run the entire length of one side
0:14:32 > 0:14:34of the plot, and it is a big job to
0:14:34 > 0:14:36clear the area for the new paving.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46Meanwhile, there's been an interesting delivery out front.
0:14:46 > 0:14:51This is a new one on me, and I think a new one on most of us.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55The boys' new raised veg beds have arrived flat-packed.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02In the boys' plan for the patio,
0:15:02 > 0:15:06the planters fit seamlessly within the dragonfly wing design.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14They've elected to have these six-sided features
0:15:14 > 0:15:16constructed from weathered steel.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19Professional welder Edward sets to work.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23In time, the walls of each planter
0:15:23 > 0:15:26will develop an attractive orange rusty coating
0:15:26 > 0:15:29to add to the contemporary look.
0:15:31 > 0:15:35It's really exciting because we've got our first planter,
0:15:35 > 0:15:38it's been welded by Edward here, and it is great.
0:15:38 > 0:15:43It's huge! The only problem we've got now, haven't we, Scott,
0:15:43 > 0:15:46is how to move it into position because it is very heavy.
0:15:48 > 0:15:52Each one of them has eaten up £1,000 of the budget,
0:15:52 > 0:15:56so Scott has found a novel way to move them into place.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03With the first planter safely in place,
0:16:03 > 0:16:06the team can construct the patio around it.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11The design is now at a crucial stage,
0:16:11 > 0:16:15so the Rich brothers and Charlie have arrived to take control.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17This garden is all about wildlife.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20Not only will we achieve that through the planting and trees,
0:16:20 > 0:16:23but also through the details of the garden,
0:16:23 > 0:16:26so the dragonfly wing and the leaf veins in the meadow.
0:16:26 > 0:16:30It sounds like it should be really easy then to lay out design-wise,
0:16:30 > 0:16:35but I bet you it won't be as laissez faire, as we expect.
0:16:35 > 0:16:39- Yes, it does look a bit tricky. - What am I doing then?
0:16:39 > 0:16:42Everything! I think it is going to be a real team effort, this one.
0:16:42 > 0:16:46You are definitely going to be on the wildlife pond,
0:16:46 > 0:16:48and definitely be involved in the planting
0:16:48 > 0:16:50and also the espalier fruit trees.
0:16:50 > 0:16:54We need them set up on the existing fence.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57Me and Harry are going to focus mainly on the hard landscaping.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00Let's go and do this then. Before it's midnight!
0:17:01 > 0:17:04While Charlie goes into the back garden to investigate where
0:17:04 > 0:17:08the pond will be sited, Harry and David join Edward, the welder,
0:17:08 > 0:17:10as he makes a start on the smallest of
0:17:10 > 0:17:13the three steel vegetable planters.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17The boys want to make sure they turn out right,
0:17:17 > 0:17:20and they can't wait to get the welder's mask on.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27What's so nice about doing a raised bed,
0:17:27 > 0:17:29or an element in your garden completely bespoke,
0:17:29 > 0:17:32is that it's so unique to your own garden.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34- You couldn't go and buy this off-the-shelf, could you?- No.
0:17:34 > 0:17:35So it makes it that much more fun.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38Obviously you need a professional welder,
0:17:38 > 0:17:41but you could do it in timber or in a different shape,
0:17:41 > 0:17:43you could have fun with it.
0:17:47 > 0:17:52Metal in a garden is often associated with wrought iron fences,
0:17:52 > 0:17:53gates and seating.
0:17:53 > 0:17:57But there are lots of different ways to use it to compliment
0:17:57 > 0:17:58your planting scheme.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03Copper is malleable,
0:18:03 > 0:18:07smooth and does not rust so it's perfect for statement pieces.
0:18:11 > 0:18:15Aluminium could be used for edging a lawn for a contemporary look.
0:18:17 > 0:18:21A bronze statue won't rust, and only gets better with age.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27And shiny steel can give off dramatic reflections in the garden.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29While weathered steel brings an earthy,
0:18:29 > 0:18:32industrial contrast to soft planting.
0:18:38 > 0:18:39In Marlborough,
0:18:39 > 0:18:42the Rich brothers are using steel as a contrast to the fluffy planting
0:18:42 > 0:18:44that will be arriving later.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52And, on the other side of the garden,
0:18:52 > 0:18:54Charlie is making a start on the pond.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58She's built dozens of them in her time,
0:18:58 > 0:19:01so the brothers have entrusted her with what will be the most important
0:19:01 > 0:19:04wildlife haven in the new garden.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09When it comes to positioning a pond,
0:19:09 > 0:19:11it is really key to get it in the right place,
0:19:11 > 0:19:14whether it is a wildlife pond or an ornamental pond.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17A lot of people think, "I will put it in the shade,
0:19:17 > 0:19:20"so that way it won't go green and slimy."
0:19:20 > 0:19:22That's the wrong thing to do.
0:19:22 > 0:19:26You really want to have at least six hours a day of full sun
0:19:26 > 0:19:30so that the plants grow and keep the pond clear.
0:19:30 > 0:19:35As this is a wildlife pond, we have positioned it close to the hedge.
0:19:35 > 0:19:39That way, the wildlife have got a safe corridor
0:19:39 > 0:19:42to get into the pond and out of the pond.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45A large, healthy pond can attract
0:19:45 > 0:19:48over 100 different species of wildlife,
0:19:48 > 0:19:53including dragonflies, beetles, foxes, newts and birds, too.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56And they don't need deep water to flourish.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58This being a wildlife pond,
0:19:58 > 0:20:00we don't need to go more than 60 centimetres deep.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02That's plenty for wildlife.
0:20:04 > 0:20:08Meanwhile out front, the third and final vegetable planter has arrived.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11To save time, it's been made off-site.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14But it's no lightweight.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16One, two, three, lift.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18That's not too bad, actually.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21I thought it was going to be a lot worse.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23Fortunately, now the brothers are here,
0:20:23 > 0:20:28there's enough muscle on-site to move it...
0:20:28 > 0:20:30To where it should be.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33..and its little brother.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39Getting them in might have been easier than expected,
0:20:39 > 0:20:42but now all three of them are together,
0:20:42 > 0:20:44the boys are having a rethink.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47That's the square corners, that one, isn't it?
0:20:47 > 0:20:49- That corner needs to go... - That corner...
0:20:49 > 0:20:53The patio slabs have to fit around the planters like
0:20:53 > 0:20:56a giant jigsaw puzzle, so they need to be right.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00Happy with the positioning,
0:21:00 > 0:21:04it's time for the brothers to crack on with the next part of the plan -
0:21:04 > 0:21:05the floor they sit on.
0:21:06 > 0:21:10They need to decide exactly where to put the patio.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15Dream. Well, I think we're going to get the spray can
0:21:15 > 0:21:17and just be artists on the floor. It'll be fun.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19Some spray cans and some beer.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23Carefully following the design,
0:21:23 > 0:21:27they start by marking out exactly where the shapes are going to go.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35Once the markings are down, a wooden framework can be created.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40But the boys have realised that the area
0:21:40 > 0:21:42isn't to the scale of their design drawing.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46- They need to go there.- Yeah. - Let's just bring it to here.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48Put it there.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51When you're taking a design from plan on to site,
0:21:51 > 0:21:53there can be a few discrepancies.
0:21:53 > 0:21:57This area here was slightly smaller in real life
0:21:57 > 0:22:00than it was on the site plan we've we provided,
0:22:00 > 0:22:02so all that means is you just have a bit of jiggery-pokery
0:22:02 > 0:22:05and you just got to adjust some of the markings.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08Part of the fun anyway is working with what you've got.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10We've got a certain amount of wood, as well,
0:22:10 > 0:22:13so you've got to refine this back to the amount you have.
0:22:13 > 0:22:14Harry is feeling confident,
0:22:14 > 0:22:18but Charlie wants to find out what all the fuss is about.
0:22:19 > 0:22:23- Hello, on my dragonfly wings. - Dragonfly!
0:22:23 > 0:22:26- These are great, aren't they? - They are cool, yeah.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29Really cool. Ever so light, then, were they?
0:22:29 > 0:22:31That one wasn't too bad.
0:22:31 > 0:22:32Bent knees.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35It is nice getting something solid, isn't it?
0:22:35 > 0:22:38- A bit of structure in the garden. - Very instant.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41- Exactly, yeah.- Come and have a look at the pond.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43It is not as level as you think, this garden.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45- Is it not?- I don't know how much.
0:22:45 > 0:22:46- That looks good.- That looks great.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48It's a great size as well, isn't it?
0:22:48 > 0:22:51It is just a lot of faff getting the levels.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57The pond is turning into quite a project,
0:22:57 > 0:23:01so Harry and David leave the under-gardener to it.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05Usha's garden was lacking any kind of seating area,
0:23:05 > 0:23:08so the brothers are creating a second patio by
0:23:08 > 0:23:10the doors at the back of the house.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16What I'm doing now is I'm levelling this space
0:23:16 > 0:23:18as we're working from the house out.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20Once we get that level then,
0:23:20 > 0:23:22we're going to connect all these wooden timbers together
0:23:22 > 0:23:26to create the shape and then it is a very easy thing of filling it in,
0:23:26 > 0:23:31pegging it and putting the final layer of the gravel on top.
0:23:35 > 0:23:39With the hardcore going down, this feature is in good shape.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44Which is more than we can say for the pond.
0:23:44 > 0:23:48So David is helping Charlie to put down a protective layer before
0:23:48 > 0:23:50the liner goes in.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53Your sheets are this colour, David, then?
0:23:53 > 0:23:55Yes. It doesn't show up dirt.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58Oh, yeah, that's what they all say.
0:23:59 > 0:24:04The membrane goes in first to stop rocks or roots piercing the liner.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07If that happens, there's only one place for the pond water to go.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11So, liner.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13Now you might be wondering why I've laid it out like this
0:24:13 > 0:24:16in the sunshine, getting it sunbathing.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18So that it warms up.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21It should fold a little bit more easily.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23Take it like this.
0:24:25 > 0:24:29David may be the boss, but Charlie is a bit of a pond expert,
0:24:29 > 0:24:32so he's happy for her to lead, for now.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34I hope you've got clean socks on.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36I've actually got holes in my socks.
0:24:36 > 0:24:37With the liner in place,
0:24:37 > 0:24:41it's shoes off to get it into all the nooks and crannies.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44That would be the slopey bit. No, no, no! That's all right.
0:24:44 > 0:24:48It may look like a lot of liner for a medium sized hole,
0:24:48 > 0:24:52- but there's a reason for that. - Right, so...
0:24:53 > 0:24:56So then it is going to be a case of tidying.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58- Trying to fold it?- Fold it.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00- Put it round.- Now, people go,
0:25:00 > 0:25:03"Oh, a liner. It looks terrible like that with the folds,"
0:25:03 > 0:25:07but actually for wildlife it is ideal, because these
0:25:07 > 0:25:10make nice little nooks and crannies for frogs and insects.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13And is this more banked here?
0:25:13 > 0:25:15Yes, a bank that side and a bank this side.
0:25:15 > 0:25:19- And that's for...?- Easy access for the wildlife, so if a hedgehog comes
0:25:19 > 0:25:23and drinks or a frog jumps in and out, they can get in and out easily.
0:25:23 > 0:25:27- OK.- So you always want that on a wildlife pond.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29As well as helping the wildlife,
0:25:29 > 0:25:33keeping the liner snug but not tight stops it tearing.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36- I've got the hose. - You've got the hose?
0:25:36 > 0:25:40- Right.- Shall I get the hose on? - Yeah, but not while we're in it.
0:25:42 > 0:25:46- Ready?- Yep. On you go then.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50Right.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53So we should take a sweepstake on how long this takes to fill
0:25:53 > 0:25:56- because I reckon...- An hour. - An hour? No.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59I reckon there's about two cubic metres of water there.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01- 250 gallons. - HE SNORES
0:26:01 > 0:26:03Oh, shut up.
0:26:03 > 0:26:07I reckon it's definitely going to take two hours, even more, to fill.
0:26:07 > 0:26:11But we don't want to cut the liner till its full.
0:26:11 > 0:26:12Wisdom.
0:26:18 > 0:26:22Meanwhile, the complicated patio design is progressing.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25To create the dragonfly wing effect,
0:26:25 > 0:26:29the landscapers are making a matrix from wooden batons
0:26:29 > 0:26:31that are an inch deep.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34This will then be filled with compacted gravel.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41The Rich brothers' idea was inspired
0:26:41 > 0:26:43by Usha's love of wildlife photography.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45The ordinary domestic back yard
0:26:45 > 0:26:50can be a great location for observing nature in all its forms.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56Wildlife enthusiast Kate McRae
0:26:56 > 0:26:58has taken her past time to the extreme
0:26:58 > 0:27:01by rigging cameras all around her garden.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06I've always been interested in wildlife from when I was a child
0:27:06 > 0:27:08and even though I grew up in south-east London,
0:27:08 > 0:27:10we always had a bird table
0:27:10 > 0:27:12and I think that's where my obsession started.
0:27:14 > 0:27:19I want to watch wildlife so creating areas that are easily viewable from
0:27:19 > 0:27:23the house or using cameras.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28I started with just one nest box camera kit
0:27:28 > 0:27:31probably about eight years ago
0:27:31 > 0:27:37and I've now got 20 cameras in and around the garden on feeders,
0:27:37 > 0:27:41nest boxes, fox feeding stations, hedgehog feeding station.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45Using amazing technology that now
0:27:45 > 0:27:48lets me watch my blue tits, great tits,
0:27:48 > 0:27:53jackdaws and their little families right inside my sitting room
0:27:53 > 0:27:57or my office, so I can sit and watch this, which is fantastic.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01The more you attract wildlife into
0:28:01 > 0:28:03your garden and the more you watch it,
0:28:03 > 0:28:05the more engaged you'll be and the more questions
0:28:05 > 0:28:06that will forming in your mind.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09Why are the birds doing that? What can I do to attract more?
0:28:09 > 0:28:12It will become very addictive.
0:28:15 > 0:28:19With some 16 million gardens in the UK,
0:28:19 > 0:28:23they represent an area that's bigger than all our nature reserves
0:28:23 > 0:28:27put together, so there are huge resource for wildlife.
0:28:31 > 0:28:35Back in Marlborough, the pond still isn't full,
0:28:35 > 0:28:38so Charlie's moved on.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41The brothers have asked her to take care of the espalier tree
0:28:41 > 0:28:42by the shed.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46Espalier is a term used to describe a tree
0:28:46 > 0:28:49that's been trained against a flat surface.
0:28:54 > 0:28:59The boys want to make this area as productive as possible for Usha,
0:28:59 > 0:29:01and espalier trees take up a lot
0:29:01 > 0:29:04less room than their freestanding cousins.
0:29:06 > 0:29:10Now, the budget for Usha's garden is quite good so the boys have gone for
0:29:10 > 0:29:12an espalier that has been pre-trained.
0:29:12 > 0:29:16You can train your own, but it takes quite a while.
0:29:16 > 0:29:20You'll be looking at about three to four years to get a basic framework,
0:29:20 > 0:29:26so for the cost of £30-£35 for a grafted espaliered apple tree,
0:29:26 > 0:29:28you'll make life really easy.
0:29:30 > 0:29:32A second one is going on the back wall.
0:29:34 > 0:29:36With this wall being on the sunny side of the garden,
0:29:36 > 0:29:39it will warm up nicely and help the tree to grow.
0:29:40 > 0:29:41On the main patio,
0:29:41 > 0:29:45the patchwork quilt of wooden batons is still not complete.
0:29:47 > 0:29:50But the patio by the back door is ready to be filled.
0:29:53 > 0:29:55Being quite an irregular shape,
0:29:55 > 0:29:57this would be very tricky to do with slabbing
0:29:57 > 0:30:00and there would be a lot of cuts. So, again, using something
0:30:00 > 0:30:02like this is inexpensive and it's a really easy way
0:30:02 > 0:30:05of creating these lovely shapes.
0:30:05 > 0:30:09Because this knits down really tightly, almost like concrete,
0:30:09 > 0:30:11it doesn't let water permeate through,
0:30:11 > 0:30:14so what we've done is we've given a fall towards the lawn, and therefore
0:30:14 > 0:30:18any water will run off and soak into the beds.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23Once the gravel is just above the level of the frame,
0:30:23 > 0:30:26the Wacker plate irons out any lumps and bumps.
0:30:30 > 0:30:34The boys are now keen to move onto the main part of the garden.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38In their design, the pattern on the new patio
0:30:38 > 0:30:40is reflected in a series of beds.
0:30:42 > 0:30:45This part of the design was all based around the veins of a leaf.
0:30:45 > 0:30:46I'll walk you round it now.
0:30:46 > 0:30:50The paths here are the veins of a leaf,
0:30:50 > 0:30:53and then these pockets are just to define that on the outside,
0:30:53 > 0:30:55so Usha's going to get this really lovely journey
0:30:55 > 0:30:57as she walks through.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00But the boys have made a last-minute change.
0:31:00 > 0:31:03They've elected to make some of the beds wild flower turf.
0:31:05 > 0:31:06And Usha will be pleased
0:31:06 > 0:31:09because wild flower turf has more biodiversity
0:31:09 > 0:31:11than a normal flowerbed.
0:31:12 > 0:31:13In Britain lately,
0:31:13 > 0:31:17all the native meadows have actually been decreasing, and that's due to
0:31:17 > 0:31:19things like agriculture and urban sprawl,
0:31:19 > 0:31:23so I think when you get a chance to bring back those native species
0:31:23 > 0:31:27and put them in your garden, you should definitely do it.
0:31:27 > 0:31:30And there's enough of it to plant around the pond too.
0:31:31 > 0:31:34So how much of this meadow turf have you got going spare?
0:31:34 > 0:31:38So we did have it so it encompassed a bit of the pond.
0:31:38 > 0:31:42- Oh, OK.- So there should be enough to give it that really nice
0:31:42 > 0:31:45- natural look.- So that will be good
0:31:45 > 0:31:47- because then I can lay the turf... - Yeah.- ..so it is
0:31:47 > 0:31:50just about touching and then it will suck up a little bit of water,
0:31:50 > 0:31:55and the great thing about that is you'll get things like meadow smock,
0:31:55 > 0:31:57lady smock will self-seed in there,
0:31:57 > 0:32:00and it'll carry on the theme of the wild flowers.
0:32:01 > 0:32:03Once the new turf establishes,
0:32:03 > 0:32:07any birds that visit the garden can feast on the bugs amongst
0:32:07 > 0:32:10the wild flowers and then stop for a quick drink afterwards.
0:32:14 > 0:32:17Three hours after we turned the water on,
0:32:17 > 0:32:20the pond is finally full and ready for Charlie to plant.
0:32:22 > 0:32:26When it comes to pond plants, there's three key groups.
0:32:26 > 0:32:27You've got oxygenators,
0:32:27 > 0:32:31which help keep the water fresh and non-stagnant.
0:32:31 > 0:32:34They don't need soil, they just need a bit of gravel,
0:32:34 > 0:32:37so they go right down to the deep bit,
0:32:37 > 0:32:40and it will just be part of the hiding places
0:32:40 > 0:32:41for all the insects.
0:32:41 > 0:32:44Oxygenators absorb excess nutrients in the water,
0:32:44 > 0:32:48keeping it clean and algae-free.
0:32:48 > 0:32:50You also have plants that lay on the surface,
0:32:50 > 0:32:53things like water lilies, water hawthorn, pond fringe,
0:32:53 > 0:32:58and then you have marginal plants which stand in the shallow areas.
0:32:58 > 0:33:01When you buy your marginal plants, quite often, the label says,
0:33:01 > 0:33:04"For four inches of water."
0:33:04 > 0:33:08What they mean is four inches from above the container top,
0:33:08 > 0:33:10so they go in quite deep.
0:33:10 > 0:33:13These ones are going to go on the shelf,
0:33:13 > 0:33:17and they are ideal to let all the dragonfly nymphs crawl out and then
0:33:17 > 0:33:21break open and turn into beautiful dragonflies.
0:33:21 > 0:33:24Charlie has created a shelf below the surface
0:33:24 > 0:33:26for the marginals to sit on.
0:33:27 > 0:33:31Water forget-me-nots and ornamental miniature bulrushes
0:33:31 > 0:33:35will help give a nice finish to the edge of the pond.
0:33:35 > 0:33:37The team are making progress,
0:33:37 > 0:33:39but we have still got a long way to go
0:33:39 > 0:33:44before the garden becomes the wildlife haven Usha is hoping for.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46At least the framework on the patio is done,
0:33:46 > 0:33:49so the boys can now add gravel crumb
0:33:49 > 0:33:52to give it a natural honeycomb finish,
0:33:52 > 0:33:54leaving Harry and David to focus on
0:33:54 > 0:33:58the three main flower beds in the centre of the garden.
0:33:58 > 0:34:01Usha is mad keen on microphotography,
0:34:01 > 0:34:04so the boys have chosen plants that will look stunning in close-up
0:34:04 > 0:34:06and attract a variety of wildlife.
0:34:08 > 0:34:11Including foxgloves and ornamental thistle that bees love.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16And moths and butterflies adore verbascums.
0:34:19 > 0:34:23But the peace and quiet is about to be rudely interrupted.
0:34:27 > 0:34:29The brothers have asked Mark the tree surgeon
0:34:29 > 0:34:34to recycle the stump of the large conifer into a new feature.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36Timber!
0:34:36 > 0:34:38Woo!
0:34:40 > 0:34:42It's now a second seating area,
0:34:42 > 0:34:45perfect for Usha to relax and observe her new oasis.
0:34:48 > 0:34:50But while the boys enjoy themselves,
0:34:50 > 0:34:54Charlie doesn't miss a trick, and has swiped the leftover wood.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00Next to her pond, she is building a stumpery.
0:35:02 > 0:35:05When you do this, you want to create as many different environments
0:35:05 > 0:35:07and habitats as possible,
0:35:07 > 0:35:10so we've got the craggy bark of the tree, but then I've got
0:35:10 > 0:35:13the brushwood from the tree that I've tied into a bundle,
0:35:13 > 0:35:18a bit like a witch's broom, and I'm going to pop that here
0:35:18 > 0:35:22because that will give a really lovely insulated area in the winter.
0:35:22 > 0:35:25I'm going to cover that with soil and then I'm going to put some
0:35:25 > 0:35:26meadow turf over the top of that.
0:35:28 > 0:35:32Bugs and insects love nothing more than hiding out
0:35:32 > 0:35:35in cool, dark wooded areas, and a stumpery makes
0:35:35 > 0:35:38a great habitat for woodlice and stag beetles.
0:35:40 > 0:35:42With our own busy bees all hard at work,
0:35:42 > 0:35:46Usha's £6,000 garden is starting to come to life.
0:35:48 > 0:35:49But the Rich brothers haven't
0:35:49 > 0:35:51forgotten her other great passion -
0:35:51 > 0:35:54growing her own produce.
0:35:54 > 0:35:55In the old garden,
0:35:55 > 0:35:58Usha had made do with
0:35:58 > 0:36:00some crumbling wooden raised beds.
0:36:00 > 0:36:04Now there's ample room for a variety of edible delights
0:36:04 > 0:36:07in her new steel planters.
0:36:07 > 0:36:11And Charlie, who loves her vegetable gardens, can't wait to get involved.
0:36:11 > 0:36:14Last of the veggies, boys.
0:36:14 > 0:36:15- Nice.- Nice.- Nice combination.
0:36:15 > 0:36:19- Strawberries and garlic.- Yeah, that's a new ice cream flavour.
0:36:19 > 0:36:22Mr Heston Blumenthal's next combination for dessert, is it?
0:36:22 > 0:36:25Now, actually, that's really good because when these come into flower,
0:36:25 > 0:36:29it attracts lots of hover flies that eat aphids and that side of things,
0:36:29 > 0:36:32and hover flies also pollinate, so a good combination.
0:36:33 > 0:36:37The great thing about raised containers
0:36:37 > 0:36:38is that they are easy to work
0:36:38 > 0:36:41because they are raised and you don't have to bend down so far.
0:36:41 > 0:36:46You can adjust the soil type to suit your plants that you are growing,
0:36:46 > 0:36:51so we've got a nice loam here which a lot of the herbs will really like.
0:36:51 > 0:36:53And the other thing about them is having them placed around,
0:36:53 > 0:36:56they've all got slightly different environments.
0:36:56 > 0:36:59The far one is great, because it is slightly more shaded,
0:36:59 > 0:37:02so the very leafy plants like the salad leaves and that
0:37:02 > 0:37:04will be really happy down there.
0:37:04 > 0:37:08Then we've got a medium one, so the strawberries and the garlic.
0:37:08 > 0:37:12And then this one is going to be the hottest bed because it is protected
0:37:12 > 0:37:15by this shed and it will get the sun from the morning
0:37:15 > 0:37:18all the way through until the evening.
0:37:18 > 0:37:21If you are only going to grow one, well,
0:37:21 > 0:37:23should I say fruit in the garden?
0:37:23 > 0:37:25Because a tomato is a fruit.
0:37:25 > 0:37:28Then go for tomatoes because the flavour is just fantastic.
0:37:28 > 0:37:31We've got some slightly different ones.
0:37:31 > 0:37:34We have got these ones which have little yellow fruit on them,
0:37:34 > 0:37:36and then this one, which is purple.
0:37:36 > 0:37:39Well, chocolate cherry, they're called.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41How unusual is that?
0:37:41 > 0:37:45I think Usha is going to love this bit of the garden.
0:37:45 > 0:37:47I can see her pottering for hours.
0:37:52 > 0:37:55These new raised veg beds are the icing on the cake
0:37:55 > 0:37:58for this multifaceted garden.
0:38:00 > 0:38:02And as the last tomato plants go in,
0:38:02 > 0:38:05the Rich brothers' design is complete.
0:38:08 > 0:38:13A few days ago, Usha's garden was an uninspiring rectangular lawn
0:38:13 > 0:38:14with a tired old veg bed
0:38:14 > 0:38:17and a large conifer tree that blocked out the sun.
0:38:19 > 0:38:22Now, it has had a £6,000 transformation.
0:38:25 > 0:38:29The boys enlisted Charlie to build a pond to encourage wildlife.
0:38:29 > 0:38:32It took a lot of hard work and expertise to make it,
0:38:32 > 0:38:37but the materials were a bargain, coming in at just over £150.
0:38:39 > 0:38:43To create the habitats for birds, bees and butterflies,
0:38:43 > 0:38:46the brothers laid 35 square metres of meadow turf
0:38:46 > 0:38:49that form pathways across the lawn area.
0:38:54 > 0:38:58And made new flower beds filled with perennial plants,
0:38:58 > 0:39:00coming in at nearly £500.
0:39:04 > 0:39:09Usha was lacking any seating area in the garden,
0:39:09 > 0:39:13so the boys built a patio behind the French doors in a shape that
0:39:13 > 0:39:15ties in with the overall design.
0:39:20 > 0:39:23At no cost at all, the brothers upcycled the wood
0:39:23 > 0:39:26from the old conifer tree to make a second seating area
0:39:26 > 0:39:30along with a stumpery next to the pond to encourage insects
0:39:30 > 0:39:32and small creatures.
0:39:36 > 0:39:39And the brothers designed three bespoke vegetable beds
0:39:39 > 0:39:43made from weathered steel that bring an edgy, modern look to the space.
0:39:47 > 0:39:51They don't just make an impact on the garden but also on the budget,
0:39:51 > 0:39:55coming in at £3,000.
0:39:55 > 0:39:57- Yes.- Yeah.
0:39:57 > 0:40:02It's time to find out if Harry and David, for Usha's £6,000 budget,
0:40:02 > 0:40:06have created the peaceful wildlife haven she was craving.
0:40:06 > 0:40:08Here she comes.
0:40:08 > 0:40:10Keep going, you're absolutely fine, there's nothing...
0:40:10 > 0:40:11Nothing to trip over!
0:40:11 > 0:40:13THEY LAUGH
0:40:13 > 0:40:15Lots, but I'm taking you the right way.
0:40:15 > 0:40:17(They're only walking her all the way
0:40:17 > 0:40:20(across the garden with her eyes closed!)
0:40:20 > 0:40:22Ooh...
0:40:22 > 0:40:25Right, come back a little bit... sit down.
0:40:25 > 0:40:27- That's the one. - HE LAUGHS
0:40:27 > 0:40:29Are you looking forward to seeing your garden?
0:40:29 > 0:40:31Very much so.
0:40:31 > 0:40:33One, two, three - open your eyes.
0:40:33 > 0:40:35Oh, my word!
0:40:35 > 0:40:39- Wow! - Well, the "Wow" says it.
0:40:39 > 0:40:41I couldn't have done this.
0:40:41 > 0:40:43This is absolutely amazing.
0:40:43 > 0:40:45I could never have dreamt that it was possible
0:40:45 > 0:40:47to do something like this.
0:40:47 > 0:40:49- Amazing.- I love it. Thank you very much, guys.
0:40:49 > 0:40:51- Do you want to have a little wander? - Yes, please.
0:40:51 > 0:40:53We thought it would be fun to put you on the seat.
0:40:53 > 0:40:56- It is my seat as well. - It was your tree.- It was.
0:40:56 > 0:40:58- A little table there for your coffee.- Oh, nice.
0:40:58 > 0:41:00Got your camera down on there.
0:41:00 > 0:41:04- Yeah.- This is all the meadow turf, great for wildlife.
0:41:04 > 0:41:06- Yeah, brilliant.- Pond as well.
0:41:06 > 0:41:08Oh, yes. And there's my flowerbeds.
0:41:08 > 0:41:10Flowerbeds. Yes, we've got loads of plants in here
0:41:10 > 0:41:13that will give lots of flower throughout the year.
0:41:13 > 0:41:16We've got catmint as well, will give you a bit of scent as well,
0:41:16 > 0:41:18which will be nice. The bumblebees and butterflies are going to
0:41:18 > 0:41:23absolutely love these. These are the leaf veins, the paths round here.
0:41:23 > 0:41:26- I see.- It gives you the opportunity to wander through,
0:41:26 > 0:41:30walk around the beds. Espaliered apple tree over there.
0:41:30 > 0:41:33- Gorgeous.- My little patio.
0:41:33 > 0:41:34- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:41:34 > 0:41:38Lots of fiddle, but it was definitely worth it.
0:41:38 > 0:41:41This is the star, isn't it?
0:41:41 > 0:41:43The star of the show, yeah, indeed.
0:41:43 > 0:41:45- What do you think of this? - This is gorgeous.
0:41:45 > 0:41:48- Doesn't that look beautiful?- It has a nice feeling about it.
0:41:48 > 0:41:51It does, yeah. What have you got growing in my veg pots, then?
0:41:51 > 0:41:53Chillies, tomatoes.
0:41:53 > 0:41:54Fennel, Sage.
0:41:54 > 0:41:56- That's curry.- Curry plant, yes.
0:41:56 > 0:42:01I thought it was Rosemary. It looks like it.
0:42:01 > 0:42:03And then your strawberries and garlic.
0:42:03 > 0:42:05In the far one, we have got some beans.
0:42:05 > 0:42:06Oh, right, OK.
0:42:06 > 0:42:08Some runner beans and other herbs.
0:42:08 > 0:42:10Nice variety of herbs.
0:42:10 > 0:42:13- Brilliant.- Can you imagine spending time here taking photographs?
0:42:13 > 0:42:17- Definitely, definitely.- Your house will be full of photographs of the garden, won't it?- Yeah.
0:42:17 > 0:42:19No, this is gorgeous. Thank you very much, guys.
0:42:19 > 0:42:22- Pleasure, absolute pleasure. - I'll come in for a hug as well.
0:42:22 > 0:42:23THEY LAUGH
0:42:27 > 0:42:32Usha wanted her garden to be filled with the sights and sounds of nature
0:42:32 > 0:42:35where she could spend time enjoying her favourite hobbies,
0:42:35 > 0:42:38taking photographs and growing produce.
0:42:38 > 0:42:39I love the vegetable patch.
0:42:39 > 0:42:42I do love the garden. It is totally unique and different,
0:42:42 > 0:42:44and that's what I like. I like to be different.
0:42:44 > 0:42:46- CHARLIE:- This looks fantastic.
0:42:46 > 0:42:49For a wildlife garden, the design has really worked.
0:42:49 > 0:42:53- USHA:- I can do my macrophotography to my heart's content now.
0:42:53 > 0:42:56The wildflowers will attract all the bees and wasps and butterflies
0:42:56 > 0:43:01and I've got the pond area for the newts and the frogs etc.
0:43:01 > 0:43:03Yeah, it's amazing. I can get my own veggies as well.
0:43:03 > 0:43:06That is actually perfect for me.
0:43:06 > 0:43:08Usha is thrilled and set to enjoy
0:43:08 > 0:43:11her new wildlife haven for years to come.
