Garden Rescue heads to Salford this Wednesday for another backyard overhaul—this one with a tighter-than-usual budget and a style clash waiting to happen. Airing at 3:45 PM GMT on BBC One, the episode finds green-thumbed duo Flo and Lee facing the challenge of transforming Lottie and Mead’s uninspired outdoor space into something worthy of their Edwardian home.
With only £5,000 to work with, the team aims to craft a cool, urban design that doesn’t feel out of place against the backdrop of the more traditional architecture. The small size of the plot and the clients’ desire for an edgy look present a unique set of constraints.
The series has built a solid following by balancing achievable design with aspirational elements, and this episode hits that sweet spot. The question is whether the “rescue” part of the equation will win out against the budget limitations. For viewers who enjoy a good before-and-after—especially when the “before” is a bit of a disaster—this episode ticks all the boxes.
This episode of “Garden Rescue” will be shown on BBC One at 3:45 PM GMT on Wednesday.
