Garden Rescue

Leeds (8x9)

Air date: Jun 08, 2023

Donna and Dan's garden is small and messy, with lots of sharp, difficult surfaces that present a problem for their youngest daughter Emilia, who has Down’s syndrome. Emilia and her sister Maya love nothing more than playing in the garden, but currently it’s unsafe. The family need the garden to be redesigned with more forgiving materials, so they don’t hurt themselves. Mum Donna was born and raised in Norway. She would love a garden with a Scandi theme to remind her of where she grew up. The family would also like a sensory garden with lots of varieties of scent and texture for the girls to enjoy, some bomb-proof plants that they’ll be able to keep alive, and an area of grass. With very specific needs to cater for and a modest £3,000 budget to work with, the designers are going to have to draw on all their experience and creativity to give the family what they need.
