Garden Rescue episode 4 2023 – Groby – Riya and Nanda, a delightful mother-daughter duo from Groby, find themselves amid a garden that is currently quite forlorn and lacking any semblance of care or love. The garden’s existing state leaves much to be desired, with its pink and yellow ‘Battenburg’ patio that has long since fallen out of fashion, a shed that is on the brink of collapse, and a large gravel slope that overshadows any potential charm. This neglected plot is in dire need of a transformation, a rescue mission that not only revives its life but makes it the heart of their home. The urgency of the situation is amplified by Riya’s impending nuptials. The garden is not just a space for their daily respite but is set to serve as the backdrop for some of the wedding celebrations.

In their quest for inspiration, they’ve reached out to the experts, their trusted team, with a heartfelt request: to metamorphose their garden into a setting befitting the joyous occasion. The transformation, however, must also take into account its future use. They envision a space that would continue to be a delightful retreat for Nanda, long after the wedding celebrations have concluded. All this, within a tight budget of £3,500. Charlie and Flo, the key individuals entrusted with the task, have their work cut out for them. Riya and Nanda have expressed a wish to see the warm hues of reds and golds, reflecting Riya’s wedding colors, in the plant selection. But above all, they have made it abundantly clear that they wish to bid farewell to the overwhelming gravel slope that currently dominates their garden.
In addition, they dream of incorporating ample seating areas to accommodate their family and guests, along with substantial storage to streamline their outdoor activities. A keen cook herself, Nanda has also expressed her desire for a dedicated herb garden where she can grow her own fresh ingredients. It’s an ambitious wish list, one that presents a formidable challenge for Charlie and Flo. The duo is tasked with creating a garden that not only lives up to the grandeur of a wedding but also serves as a serene sanctuary for Nanda. The question that remains is whether Charlie and Flo can rise to the occasion and deliver on this tall order. As they set out on this transformative journey, the anticipation builds.

Carolynne Dimmock’s prominence in the public domain emerged in 1997 with her debut on a major television platform. She joined the esteemed BBC gardening series, Ground Force, a milestone which marked a critical juncture in her professional journey. This opportunity materialised five years subsequent to her first encounter with the series’ producer/director, an event that had a significant bearing on her career path. The occasion in question unfolded during an engrossing project, specifically, the construction of a pond for Grass Roots, a show broadcast on the Meridian channel.
Dimmock’s tenure at Ground Force extended over a remarkable eight years. Throughout this period, she not only co-presented the show but also emerged as a unique figure in public perception. A distinctive feature of her on-screen persona was her tendency to forgo a bra during the broadcasts, a trait that curiously garnered a fervid fanbase. Dimmock’s popularity was palpable, as evidenced by her image gracing calendars that sold in large numbers, even surpassing sales of those featuring well-known lingerie model, Caprice Bourret. Dimmock’s admirers affectionately referred to her as the horticultural Viagra, a testament to her revitalising impact on the genre of gardening shows.
In the wake of Ground Force’s conclusion, Dimmock showcased her expertise across various other programmes. She skillfully presented shows such as The Joy of Gardening and Charlie’s Garden Army. Her commentary of the esteemed Chelsea Flower Show further solidified her status in horticultural broadcasting. In a significant career move in 2004, Dimmock joined the Channel 4 reality TV show, The Games.
Dimmock’s renown extended to the United States, where she hosted a gardening segment on The Early Show on CBS. In September 2006, Dimmock demonstrated her culinary proficiency on BBC’s Celebrity MasterChef, enhancing her multifaceted career.
Post Ground Force and as the mid-2000s dawned, Dimmock shifted her focus to more localised content, presenting the ITV Meridian series, River Walks. This programme enabled her to investigate a variety of rivers throughout Southern England, visiting unique landmarks and attractions. It also facilitated interaction with a range of individuals living along these waterways, adding a human interest element to her broadcast repertoire.
Around 2013, Dimmock, along with her partner, pivoted their careers and launched their garden design firm, Rich Landscapes. This venture proved immensely successful and in 2015, they became the youngest team to clinch gold at the prestigious RHS Chelsea Flower show. Their work exudes a contemporary aesthetic, an organic approach to planting, and a personable, down-to-earth attitude. These qualities have attracted a diverse portfolio of high-profile clients, encompassing esteemed fashion brands like Chanel and Massimo Dutti, the luxury Hampshire hotel Heckfield Place, and a number of residential clients across Europe. Further broadening their influence, they procured a book deal and frequent features on BBC television. Their professional journey continues to impact the field of horticulture and beyond.
