New gardening series needs your gardening DIY disasters + dishevelled sheds

SHOUT OUT TO THE BRITISH PUBLIC!
Garden ER – the all-new garden show from FIVE, in association with Anglian Home Improvements – is looking for viewers who need our help! If you’ve made an embarrassing garden gaff you’re desperate to put right, or if you’ve got a shed-load of trouble at the bottom of your garden, we want to hear from you.

Garden Gaffs
Is your garden more gaff than gorgeous? Did the man of the house do something rickety with the rockery? Did you dig yourself a pond only to only to see the water vanish, leaving the goldfish gasping? Then you may be in urgent need of a little Garden ER! Contact us now to let us know what’s gone wrong and how the Garden ER team can help.

We’re looking for DIY garden projects that have gone seriously wrong, don’t work, look terrible or simply didn’t live up to your hopes. We want to meet the perpetrator of the gardening ‘crime’, help them put it right and finally win them a pardon from their long-suffering ‘victim’.

Pimp my Shed
Is your garden shed more shabby than chic? Do you wish the eyesore that lurks at the bottom of your garden was more useful, more attractive and less of a health hazard? Then this could be an opportunity for you and your family. David Domoney and the team from Garden ER are looking for some of Britain’s redundant or under-used sheds that need transforming into something useful, good-looking and inspiring. If you’ve got a shed you think could be working a lot harder for you, then call in the Garden ER team now!

Hehehe .. entertaining prose. Good luck with the show

 

more reality shows - cheap tv - ugh

 

Viewing not compulsory though ... although maybe compulsive for some?!!

 

Im with Alana on this. Cheap rubbish show from the perennial cheap rubbish Channel 5.

That opening post was almost painful to read

Puke.
I cant find polite enough words to explain how crappy your show sounds. Decorating sheds? Really??

Instead of trawling the internet for idiots who'd dig a pond that left 'the goldfish gasping,' how about Channel 5 spend some money on a straight forward, quality gardening show with no gimmicks presented by someone enthusiastic and knowledgeable?

You wont though, will you? Carry on putting out your rubbish.

 

Mods- these TV people, researchers and surveyors really ought to pay to post on GC.

They are taking advantage of a community that exists only because you guys work so hard. Its just spam.

 

Doesn't appear to be anyone (well, not enough people) who want to watch "straight forward, quality gardening shows" though Melinda (sure, you and I do ...)

Gardeners World has change tack and cut back because the last series (which I thought had lots of interesting advice and ideas, many were new to me and I've been around the block a few times ....) didn't achieve its targets.

The Gardening Channel (on the Info Channel) had its sponsorship cut after about 4 broadcasts. They came back for one episode after that break ... and now naught.

Titchmarsh is coming up with something on ITV shortly I think. Dunno if that will be a hands-on thing, or just a tour of spivy gardens.

About the closest I have found is the one on BBC Scotland ("Beechgrove" I think its called). They tell me to do things a week or two too late for down South here! but their side-by-side trials are interesting.
