Watch Garden Invaders

1969
1 Season

Garden Invaders is a delightful gardening show produced by Endemol Productions UK that brings homeowners' garden dreams to life. The show is hosted by Charlie Dimmock and Andy Sturgeon, both of whom are renowned garden designers in the UK. In each episode, the hosts visit a house with a garden that's in desperate need of a makeover. They survey the space and discuss with the homeowners about their vision for the garden. Then, Charlie and Andy get to work, creating a brand new, stunning garden which reflects the homeowners' tastes and needs.

What makes Garden Invaders unique is the twist in the format. The show's premise is that the garden makeover is a surprise for the homeowners, and they have no idea what the final product will look like. The hosts must therefore work within a set of pre-determined parameters, such as the intended garden usage, practical considerations like drainage and maintenance, or even the risk of harming any trees or natural habitats around the garden.

Charlie and Andy's talent is in taking all of these constraints and creatively transforming them into a beautiful garden that exceeds the homeowners' expectations. From vegetable gardens to outdoor lounges, Garden Invaders transforms each garden into a unique, personalized masterpiece.

Charlie Dimmock, in particular, is a beloved UK gardening personality, having previously starred in her own series, BBC's Ground Force. In Garden Invaders, she brings her immense expertise in designing and selecting plants, and her infectious enthusiasm for gardening, to create a garden that is not only beautiful but is also healthy and sustainable.

Her co-host, Andy Sturgeon, brings his own expertise in garden design, both as a television presenter and having won numerous awards for his landscape and garden designs. He adds an additional level of sophistication to the show alongside Charlie's playful and fun personality.

The show has a cheery and optimistic tone, never shying away from challenges but instead embracing the opportunity to create something new with each episode. It's a feel-good show that inspires viewers to get their own hands dirty and transform their own gardens.

Overall, Garden Invaders is a highly entertaining show that blends gardening expertise, creativity, and engaging personalities to create something truly magical. Whether you're an experienced gardener or a novice, this show is a great way to get inspired and learn more about how to create your dream garden.
