Rotherham (4x17)

Udgivelsesdato: Maj 29, 2019

In this episode, Charlie Dimmock and the Rich brothers, Harry and David, are in Rotherham to create a colourful, social space for Sue and Robert Jenkins. With their son now 16, this couple want a grown-up garden at last! But Sue suffers from Crohn’s disease, so the garden needs to be somewhere that she can relax and recuperate when fatigued. At the moment it is a boring, sloping lawn with few redeeming qualities and nothing to attract you outside. Also, they really want an additional area in the sun at the bottom of the garden, as the current patio area near the house is always in the shade. Finally, the couple are not expert gardeners but love pottering around in the summer and spring, so a garden design with summer flowers may be the answer, especially if it includes Sue’s much-loved lavender and lemon balm. So, Sue and Robert have a lot on their wish list, but luckily they have a budget to match – with £6,500 set aside for their dream garden. Can Charlie, Harry and David come up with a pair of designs that cater for all of Sue and Robert’s garden wishes? As ever, the designers have to pitch against each other for the right to make over the garden. The brothers want to create a garden full of simple planting set against a contemporary wooden deck edged with weathered steel. Charlie, on the other hand, wants to create a dramatic garden, complete with abundant plants, large entertainment space and a subtle water feature, that runs from the original upper patio to a lower new patio. So, whose design will Sue and Robert pick and, with the clock running, can the team make the couple’s wish for a new, adult garden come true?
