Garden Rescue's Charlie Dimmock Astonished by Unusual Plot Shape in Latest Episode

In the latest episode of Garden Rescue, Charlie Dimmock found herself confronted with what she described as the "strangest shaped plot" she had ever seen.

Doris and Petra's Garden Makeover

Doris and Petra, self-proclaimed "lovers of the sunshine" from Stoke on Trent, were in desperate need of a garden makeover. Doris had recently taken a trip to the A&E after a fall, blaming the uneven paving in their garden. That's when the BBC Two team, including Charlie Dimmock and Chris Hull, paid them a visit.

A Rocket-Shaped Patch of Land

Upon arrival, the team was taken aback by the "rocket-shaped" patch of land that awaited them. With a budget of £4000, Chris suggested reusing some of the existing slabs and relaying the steps, while Charlie had plans for a new sunshine patio area and planting beds in strategic areas of the garden. After much discussion, Doris and Petra decided to go with Chris' design.

Overcoming Obstacles

However, as the team began working, production manager Ben noticed several issues with the site. The uneven levels and difficult access presented a challenge. To overcome this, they used sleepers to level out the area and ensure safety.

A German-Inspired Meadow

Eventually, Charlie and Chris returned to the site to add the finishing touches. Chris aimed to create a German-inspired meadow, reminiscent of Doris' childhood, while Charlie focused on creating a focal point at the end of the garden. The result was a transformed space with no trip hazards, reused materials, and a beautiful seating area.

A Delighted Couple

When Doris and Petra saw their new garden, they were overjoyed. The chosen plants reminded Doris of home, and she expressed her satisfaction with the safe and relaxing space that had been created.

Garden Rescue once again proved its ability to turn even the most challenging plot into a stunning outdoor oasis. It's no surprise that viewers can't get enough of this hit BBC Two show.
