Charlie Dimmock and the Rich brothers, Harry and David, are in Daresbury, in Chester, answering a Garden Rescue emergency call from downsizers Karen and Alan. The couple have a small wedge-shaped garden with so little in it that the only thing to look at is the fences, and to make matters worse, those fences don’t even stop the garden from being completely overlooked by neighbours. The couple work from home and so they spend a lot of time looking at or living in the garden, so it's not surprising that they want to bring their space to life and create some much needed privacy, too. But they have a particular request: they don’t like straight lines and want a wandering journey through the garden. \n\nWith a budget of only £2,500, this garden rescue job will be difficult for the designers, but they can spot a sadly under-utilised green space a mile off, so head up to Daresbury to pitch their rival garden visions to the couple. Who will win the right to transform Karen and Alan’s blank oddly shaped plot into their tranquil, private oasis of a garden?
