Your Garden Made Perfect

It's finally good to see realistic budgets for intricate designs. Garden rescue etc give the general public a ridiculously cheap view without labour costs etc. This program takes everything into account and some really nice ideas aswell.

What a waste of money for the sub-standard makeovers.

Designs are gimmicky and mostly impractical, a bit drawn out, not a patch on its sister show: Your Home Made Perfect, would be better if it was 30 mins and how about showing us some of these gardens in the rain? One couple spent 20 grand and they didn't even get a covered area to sit out in the rain. I also laughed when the designer said she didn't want to distract from the lovely view and her design had all these ugly pipes and upright posts everywhere, like that isn't distracting!

The only reason I gave this a 5 is because it's mildly entertaining. The most frustrating thing is the fact the initial virtual pitch nearly always over sells what is possible for the budget. I'm up to episode 5 and all but one of the garden's look like the one originally proposed. I realise gardens and the plants have to mature, but a couple of the gardens had major hard landscaping omissions. I don't believe any of the gardens could match the original design keeping anywhere near the proposed budget. In fact the programme is a con on many fronts.

Great program, love seeing the garden concepts they come up with but the host is over dramatic, I feel like she's trying to make me watch a thriller when I watching a garden makeover...almost to the extent my blood pressure goes up and I'm only in my 30's. She's a great host but she needs to chill out and ground
