Southampton and Northampton (Extended Versions)
Season 1, Episode 1
The teams set to work on two outside space, beginning with Lee Burkhill and Chris Hull in Northampton to transform Jackie's bland and inaccessible garden into a wheelchair-friendly space full of colour where she can drink tea with her best friend Debbie. Then Charlie Dimmock and Florence Headlam head to Southampton, where Sarah and Phil want their overgrown and unloved plot to become a gothic-inspired garden full of plants with dark colours and a 'catio' for their two Siamese cats

Charlie Dimmock's TV career began in 1991 when she installed a fish pond for TV programme Grass Roots. When the producer, John Thornicroft, launched Ground Force five years later, he remembered her. She landed her own show, Charlie's Garden Army, in 1999. Since then she's hosted Charlie's Wildlife Gardens and spread her wings with Cheer for Charlie, a show in which she was challenged to tackle unusual tasks. She even took America by storm after appearing on breakfast TV gardening slots, and hosting Ground Force America. She has also featured on Celebrity MasterChef and Comic Relief Does Car Booty.
Quote:
'I've never been sexy in my life. I was the girl at school that no one wanted to go out with.'
