Aren't you glad that you don't live next to the garden with the
hot-tub and the canvas beach views on the fences.
The pond face-lift was the only interesting feature.

Poor blinking people next door it'll be fun to see what the ER team do
with THEIR garden if they intend to give all the gardens a makeover.
They now have presumably 15 foot fencing around a very blank tiny
garden.

As for the makeover Where were the plants and garden? It was completely
overwhelmed by the very expensive hottub. Hope they don't have drought
restrictions ...

The poor couple did not at any stage say they wanted a holiday garden
they just said that they had given up their holiday for the house, NOT
the same thing at all and the presenter seems to be on something potent
for all the unnecessary emphasising and showy energy he seems to be
exhibiting.
Bonnie davies is the youngest sister of the team that run Davies
brothers nursery over near Iver, very good for plug plants etc, suppose
she was chosen for her gardening talents and not because she is in her
early 20's and blonde?

I thought telling the viewers to pinch the sugar from Costa coffee was a
bit much, I assumed he was going to recommend asking for the coffee
grounds which he never mentioned at all!!

I thought the pond thing was quite interesting but not sure you have to
wade in to get the plants in. They didn't look that good when she'd
finished though she was nabbed for the programme at Chelsea as she
designed partly the literary garden with poems all over the place etc.
in the small garden part.
