About this Broadcast
Doncaster
Season 9, Episode 12
Charlie Dimmock and Chris Hull renovate the garden of an 1800s farmhouse in Doncaster using reclaimed items such as pig troughs to recall the history of the building. Owners Kirsty and Daniel are keen to keep the original winding path and stick to an informal, relaxed design with dog-friendly plants and a patch of grass for their future child to play on
