Your Garden Made Perfect

I just watched Angela Scanlon, sorry I mean, Your Garden Made perfect on BBC TV. ☺️

Ok, I admit I do fancy Angela 😊 but I do think it’s actually a very well made and more than watchable program.

Really makes you long for spring and summer.

Some great designs tonight I thought.

In the main project I think I would probably have chosen the other design.

Lovely little courtyard garden too for a lovely family.

She’s a great presenter and I love her oirish accent. My husband is Irish and they are charming. I didn’t like the winning garden - looked great through the goggles but not so great in real life? It was late autumn so may be better in the summer. But £66,000 crikey! Also the I felt the weird paths were not very user friendly. The courtyard garden was good but wasn’t that fencing high? Isn’t there normally a 2m limit? A little too prison yard for my liking 😊 I agree the other garden looked much nicer and just as wildlife friendly. 🌸

She's a great presenter, just seems more ' real than most.
I'm with you too Sonia, I thought the £60k garden they chose looked ridiculous enough virtually but it was an absolute shocker in real life, and those paths were dreadful.

I did like the courtyard one but felt a bit sorry for the kids with 1/4 metre square hidden under a deck to play in 🤣

Do you have a fire pit in your garden?

I helped my Dad build a fire pit in his garden, he made wooden seats to sit around the metal fire pit with old stone columns for extra seating (unfortunately you can't see the actual fire-pit as behind the stone bench). Lots of stories and fun are had around it until deep into the night. If you have the space it is a great addition to put in! Shannon

I love making extra spicy chilli con carne, or a proper lasagna bolognese with homemade bechamel sauce!

You get used to the space very quickly and just as quickly fill it up with furniture. The feeling of space is great and as a new build I doubt heating will be an issue with insulation standards. I would suggest creating a feeling of space, lots of storage and light are crucial. 1.5 acre garden is very large, especially with a baby. I used to have just under half an acre and spent forever getting no where with weeding and cutting grass. I literally planted hundreds of trees as a wind belt and for decoration and you will need a ride on mower. Does give you space for a play area, patio, veg and fruit garden etc.

Well I was willing myself to like the results for the family last night....... 😒 The two bits I liked most from the original design were the fire pit and the little corner shed/swing/hideaway for the daughter and neither were there as planned as far as I could see? And that slope being practical in all weather's for a wheelchair?? The planting was lovely but I can't help feeling the other design would have been far better in the long term. What do you all think? Oh and don't get me started on the little yarden. Loved the concept and the colours but what was the deathtrap jagged wooden flooring all about???

Agree, great new gardening programme with an engaging and enthusiastic presenter. I preferred the other design, but liked the choice of plants in the chosen design.

It was a hard call for me tonight because Carol Klein’s new programme started on Channel 5 - I’ll watch that on catch-up!
