Great gardening show!
silasjnash4 January 2019
This show is very entertaining. The Rich brothers and Charlie always have great ideas to help home owners fulfill their gardening wishes. Surely an inspiration for DIYers. It is fun and informative. The designs for planting beds, pergolas, paths, materials and plant choices are awesome. I love how they are able to attrack wildlife, create a since of wonder around corners, make focal points, create playgrounds, terraces, and do something other than line the edges of a square lawn. Clients vary from retired couples to families with children to single bachelors, all with a budgets of usually 2,000~6,000 pounds. The only wish I have is that they do more return visits to see how things have grown. Maybe they could make a special episode with multiple followups from gardens they rescued from previous seasons. I hope this show continues for many more seasons! Keep on rescuing! It reminds me of Treehouse Masters the way the cast goofs around.

Vegetable bench

Nice program.

Just today I were watching season 5, section 1 of 35.

I'm surprised that you use impregnated wood for vegetable benches, should not as it is not healthy way. Chemicals will.dissolve from the wood and get to the plant. Please give healthy advices and guide viewers to right direction.

Othervise this is nice show and gives hints how to get most out of small backyard space in the city environment.

Personally I have plenty of space, but some hints can be used there too.

Now it is not time to start work with garden here as it is -7 degrees C outside and 35 cm of snow, but it will be gone in 6 weeks and after that one can start to think what to do.

Greetings from finland Jarmo.

Love this show :)

I have been researching garden and landscape design for DIY projects during COVID while I am home. Wanted to redesign our garden. Watched "love your garden" - that one is good and worth watching. But I like Garden Rescue better and would literally watch it every day - I actually have been :) Much better than anything else on!! They have great ideas, are extraordinarily gifted and creative people - the Rich brothers and Charlie all - and have wonderful presentation. These guys are also SUPER funny! Charlie is really cute and mom-like to all the guys. The Rich brothers are adorably cute and masculine gardeners who have great manners but also lightly poke fun at the whole thing. It is a wonderful experience - makes me laugh through all of it and gives great ideas too. Wish their co. was here in the U.S. so I could hire them to do my project!!

Go on Charlie
Being an Original Ground Force Fan I was curious on how Charlie Sort of on her own would Do as the Main host and No1 of her own Tv show. Ground Rescue Delivered without doubt.

If I had to be negative in the slightest I found some of the Tamped down plain gravel paths a bit cheap and boring but over a period of watching I also worked out why the Rich Brothers lost out to Charlie's designs so many times and that is::::::::-COLOUR GUYS!!

The Printed Designs Are very Computer Generated,Always look the same and are Always Just GREEN!! Add Some colour guys like the rest of the designers and I reckon you would have been chosen more regularly. (my Opinion Obviously)

Wonderful garden show
fairacre-0831423 April 2022
The garden makeovers in this show are amazing and the varied designs for various wants and needs, children, accessibility, wildlife, & more are very interesting. The three designers have a good report, and I enjoy the humor too.

Charlie Dimmock, sloe gin
noelineevans22 September 2020
Was surprised to hear you pricking sloes with a pin, I freeze them, they break down as they defrost, have also done sloe vodka and sloe brandy, halve the sugar for brandy, have a place on my dog walk for sloes, leave the top for the birds, bottom for small animals, also use used sloes in cooking, loving the show

Great. Countless Ideas
userpalooza28 July 2023
Dreadful, stingy, plain-Jane, and poorly-proportioned yards in England get makeovers, in a competition format. The barren, uninviting quality of all these yards must be due to the English climate. No one in the states would leave their yards this featureless.

These forlorn, unused spaces, get transformed into amazing features.

I'm always rooting for the Rich Brothers, but their stuff is very serious; appropriate for me, but not most workaday folks. Charlie is larger than life, but her best ideas are more exploratory and random, which I also like. Arit does nice work too. I think she and Charlie did that cool tumble down yard with a kid's garden at the bottom tier.

I sketch out my own ideas, as I watch. And I found this, at the exact right time in my life, as I was designing a landscape for a client. Had no idea I enjoyed designing pergolas and yard-panning as much as I do.
