Garden Rescue

Eleanor and Rob, a Hereford couple, have approached the team to design an eco‑friendly garden for themselves and their two daughters, creating a family‑friendly layout. They aim to build the space using recycled materials while staying within a £4,500 budget and ensuring it is safe for the children.

Hereford is a programme presented in an episodic format, focusing on real‑life projects and DIY challenges. Each instalment follows a new set of participants as they tackle a specific task, with the series offering practical guidance and hands‑on assistance. In this episode, the team are approached by a local couple, Eleanor and Rob, who live in Hereford. They’ve reached out for help in creating an environmentally‑friendly garden that can be enjoyed by the whole family, especially their two young daughters. The couple’s brief is clear: they want a garden built largely from reclaimed and recycled materials, keeping the whole venture sustainable. To bring the vision to life they’ve set aside a budget of £4,500, and they’re counting on the team’s expertise to stretch those funds while staying true to the eco‑conscious ethos. Eleanor and Rob hope the finished space will serve as a safe, green play area for their girls and a place where the family can spend quality time together outdoors. The episode follows the planning, sourcing of recycled items, and the step‑by‑step construction, all aimed at delivering a garden that balances practicality, cost‑effectiveness, and environmental responsibility.
