Garden Rescue Season 2 Episode 3 Southampton

Garden Rescue season 2 episode 3 takes us to Southampton, where a couple is seeking help to transform their garden into a beautiful space where they can relax and enjoy their retirement. The couple is looking for a low-maintenance garden that is wheelchair accessible as one of them has difficulties walking. The garden designers, Charlie Dimmock and the Rich brothers, are up for the challenge and ready to create a garden that meets their client's requirements.

The episode begins with the designers assessing the garden's current state, noting the uneven ground, untidy borders, and overgrown shrubs and trees. The garden is completely unsuitable for wheelchair access, and there is no clear path around the garden. Charlie takes note of the garden's exposure to the sun and notes that it is mainly shady, making it suitable for planting shade-loving plants.

The designers then meet with the clients, Tony and Rosie, to discuss their design ideas. The clients emphasize the importance of a garden where they can enjoy their retirement and spend time with family and friends. They are clear about their requirement for a low-maintenance garden that is easy to navigate. The clients have provided a budget of £5,000 for the transformation.

Charlie and the Rich brothers begin to conceptualize the garden design, keeping in mind the client's desire for a low-maintenance garden. They come up with a design that incorporates raised planters, a new seating area, and a winding path around the garden. The design will also incorporate a water feature that will add a calming effect to the garden. The designers source the required materials and get to work.

While the Rich brothers work on creating the garden's hardscape, Charlie focuses on planting the garden's new plants. She creates a beautiful mix of low-maintenance plants that can thrive in the shady garden. The new plants will provide a lot of color throughout the summer. Charlie also emphasizes the importance of choosing plants that will be attractive to wildlife, as the clients love seeing birds, bees and butterflies in their garden.

The Rich brothers get to work creating a new seating area, which will be the central feature of the garden. The seating area will be fully wheelchair accessible and provide a perfect spot where the clients can sit and enjoy the surroundings. They also start performing some landscaping, creating different levels within the garden. This helps dramatically with the accessibility of the garden, and the designers use the raised areas to create different zones within the garden.

As the project draws to a close, Charlie adds the finishing touches to the planting, making sure the new arrangements are soft and appealing with the trickling of the water feature in the background. Meanwhile, the Rich brothers put the final touches to the seating area and add a number of finishing touches to the garden's borders.

At the final reveal, the clients are visibly stunned by the transformation, remarking on the new, accessible garden. The designers have created a garden that is low maintenance, wheelchair accessible and perfect for relaxing and entertaining. The garden features a variety of colors, textures, and shapes, with a new seating area and water feature that completes the garden's transformation.

In conclusion, Garden Rescue season 2 episode 3 takes on a challenging brief, creating a modern low-maintenance garden that is wheelchair accessible and perfect for relaxing and entertaining. The designers create a fantastic space by integrating raised planters, a winding path, and a water feature while at the same time making the garden more accessible. The final result is a stunning garden that will be sure to provide plenty of enjoyment for the clients for years to come.
