Charlie and Lee are paddling into Manchester with a hefty design challenge on this week’s Garden Rescue: transforming an overgrown urban plot into a surfer’s paradise—and all for under £6,000. Airing Wednesday on BBC One at 3:45 PM, the episode follows homeowners James and Elizabeth as they hand over the reins (and the weeds) to the green-thumbed duo.
The couple’s brief is simple, if ambitious: bring the beach to their backyard. They’re keen surfers who dream of a garden that echoes the seaside—a tall order given Manchester’s landlocked locale. But with ten seasons under their belts, the Garden Rescue team has faced tougher landscaping hurdles than a lack of ocean breeze.
This episode looks set to test their creative limits—particularly when it comes to stretching the budget. Six grand doesn’t buy a lot of beachfront real estate, even the metaphorical kind. Viewers can expect the usual blend of plant-based problem-solving, DIY ingenuity, and mild-mannered bickering as Charlie and Lee wrestle over the best way to bring a coastal vibe to the rainy city.
Will they manage to deliver a slice of surfside serenity? Or will the project end up high and dry? Tune in to BBC One this Wednesday to find out.
Garden Rescue airs Wednesday, June 11 at 3:45 PM on BBC One.
