Love Your Garden season 1, episode 7 is titled "The Entertaining Garden" and focuses on transforming a small garden into a beautiful and practical entertainment space for a family who loves to entertain guests.
The episode begins with host Alan Titchmarsh and his team visiting the home of the family in Cheshire who have a small and lackluster garden that they never use. They explain to Alan that they love to entertain, but their garden is not suitable for hosting guests.
Alan meets with the family and discusses their needs and wants for their new entertainment garden. They express that they would like an area for cooking and dining, as well as a cozy area for lounging and socializing. With this in mind, Alan and his team set out to create a beautiful and practical outdoor space that the family can enjoy year-round.
To start, they remove the existing patio and replace it with a new one made of beautiful Indian sandstone. They also build a large, L-shaped outdoor kitchen with a built-in grill, sink, and plenty of counter space for food preparation. They install a wooden pergola over the dining area, which also includes a large, wooden table and chairs.
In addition to the dining area, Alan and his team create a cozy seating area with comfortable chairs and an outdoor fireplace. They use raised beds filled with colorful plants and flowers to add pops of color and texture to the space.
To top it off, they install various lighting fixtures throughout the garden, including outdoor fairy lights, spotlights, and a large, hanging lantern over the dining area. The lighting creates a warm and inviting atmosphere that is perfect for evening gatherings.
Finally, the family is revealed to their new outdoor space, and they are thrilled with the transformation. They love the new patio, outdoor kitchen, and seating area, and are excited to use it to entertain their friends and family.
Love Your Garden season 1, episode 7, titled "The Entertaining Garden," showcases the beauty and functionality of a well-designed outdoor entertainment space.
