BBC One - Garden Rescue, Series 4, Cheshunt

Charlie Dimmock and the Rich brothers create a garden fusing Japan and Yorkshire.

Charlie Dimmock and Harry and David Rich create a garden fusing Japan and Yorkshire for James and Akika. It is complete with white roses, bamboo and a DIY bonsai tree.

Charlie Dimmock and Harry and David Rich are in Cheshunt, Hertfordshire, answering another request. This time, it is to create a garden that fuses Japan and Yorkshire. James is proudly born and bred in Yorkshire and wants to see hints of it in his new Home Counties house, while his Japanese wife Akika, who he met when travelling, naturally wants to feel a link to her upbringing and homeland, to make her feel closer to her past. It is the team’s job to recreate this international mix in garden form. And, to make their task harder, the couple only have a budget of £2,000 – given to them by James’ parents.

The good news though is that at least the money won’t have to be stretched over a big space, as this really is a little garden. But that does mean Charlie and the brothers have to make sure they don’t deliver something that still feels small and pokey. Altogether, it is a difficult balancing act for Charlie Dimmock and the Rich brothers to pull off. But they can spot an exciting challenge a mile off, so head up to Cheshunt to pitch their rival solutions for the couple. And, not for the first time, they take very different approaches.

Charlie’s garden is all about a wandering lawn that leads to a welcoming pergola, while the Rich brothers have given over the garden to gravel paths and stones – representing the dry stone walls of Yorkshire and the carefully placed stones of Japanese Zen gardens. So who will win the right to transform James and Akika’s soulless square plot into their dream fusion of Japan meets Yorkshire? One thing is for sure - whoever wins, there will be white roses, bamboo and a lesson in do it yourself bonsai tree making.
