Used to watch these with my Nan years ago as a child brings back some good old memories

[@missprimproper1022]

Margaret did the hardest graft I've ever seen - she moved all that soil and the gravel too! Well done Margaret. What a wonderful friend to have. I love this episode. What a beautiful design. No wonder Pat was thrilled with it!

Such a heart warming t.v show when i was a teen. Used to watch it, many an episode with my Dad back then. The hosts are so cheerful, kind and sweet people. Quality show.

[@gabriellel249]

Thank you from the bottom of my heart! I adore having the chance to see this terrific show again!

[@oldstoney6342]

Still a few more to upload Enjoy :-)

[@gabriellel249]

Hooray!!!! Thank you so, so, SOOOOO much!

[@wvumntr]

This show has never been boring that’s what I love about it but just have to say that the BBC America shows were just a little different than these. Nice to see these!

[@ebonywahine]

When I was in grad school I would take a break from writing in the afternoon to have a tea break and watch this show on BBCAmerica. Sometimes I would allow myself an hour and also watch Changing Rooms as well. Thank you so much for posting these, they are a blast from the past and remind me that little gems like this helped me to get through the most arduous path in academia, the Phd!

[@alexsurette7179]

They were great shows

[@cherbrowne1637]

Always a treat to watch these skilled gardeners. Nice non- political humour too.

[@wangota]

I loved watching this show when it came out! Thanks for bringing it back!!!! It’ll give me a glimmer of hope in my life since my divorce.

[@mendhamsmusicmoviesmovemen8075]

Awwww.................Poor Charlie!

[@wvumntr]

I was hooked this show from the beginning. Have so many episodes on vhs that I have to get on cds.

[@Irene-gq4jr]

The lady gardener's reaction was priceless. I wonder how Charlie Dimmock feels these days about Alan's comment of needing to 'rub Vic on Charlie's chest'. I dare say she's much like me, robust, working with a bunch of great guys and having a laugh, and takes it in the spirit it's intended. Great result in this garden, quite jealous.

[@ah7910]

I confess, as much as I adore the show (and the banter!) comments about rubbing Vicks into her chest, etc did make my toes curl a bit! Times have changed, thankfully. There was, if memory serves correctly, even worse examples of sexism - one episode I think I remember one of the guys farting on Charlie’s head and Charlie just laughed it off with a great deal of dignity. I can’t remember which of the guys it was but I remember him farting directly on her head, almost sitting on the top of her head as she was bent down planting in a decorative pond and saying he had “curry last night” and asking her how it smelt. Revolting.

Miss this show....

The Original Landscaping Show

[@vijayagita3158]

Goodness me! I had forgotten this series, and how patronising Alan T was towards Charlie in those times. She wouldn't have it now...!

[@fikent5252]

He was never patronising to Charlie, it’s all harmless banter. Get a grip ! Drop the woke !!!! Not needed or deserved on this timeless show !

[@Thisistrulyoddtv_Mark]

I understand the guy works nights but you cannot expect them to be quiet when they are building a new garden it’s impossible that’s just stupid couldn’t the guy have booked time off and telling that man off delivery the wood was so silly I want my garden done but shhhh I’m sleeping book time off then

[@LionTheHeart]

Ah..the good ole days!

[@b_uppy]

That dog would be a better than average Border Collie at herding. The instinct is especially strong with this one...

[@auligan3855]

"Sorry I just didn't know" at 5.03 😂😂😂😂

[@mwmcquade]

That is my dad saying that😀😀

[@auligan3855]

mwmcquade no way really? He made me laugh loved this episode 😊

[@mwmcquade]

He loved it...we had a tee shirt with that printed on it done for him even now he still mentions the time he was on ground force 😀

[@auligan3855]

mwmcquade that is brilliant, nice memories. Fantastic show with lovely people. Tell your dad he made that episode great just fitted in so perfectly with the way he said it.

[@finnthehorse9003]

I have been riding at that stables loads😀

[@markpalmer7215]

Good seeing these all again, currently being shown on “Home” channel in UK every evening

[@knobrush]

I liked this show. Is it just me or does Alan seem to be a combination of Mike Brewer and RIchard Hammond?

[@mickydebargos]

Any chance of getting series 9, episode 2 which was done in the isle of man? Cheers.

[@barcaleicleic7781]

Eh voilé...🥰

[@jamesolojo787]
