Lights Camera Gardening!

It’s not often in your career you get the chance to rub shoulders with some of the most famous landscapers and gardeners. But when the team at DIY SOS said “yes” I booked the week out and the team travelled to Bristol to support the charity project known locally as The Ranch.

Creating outdoor spaces

Having spent the last 30 years, designing, renovating, and rejuvenating outside spaces for families to enjoy and creating professionally designed outside spaces for businesses. This seemed like the perfect time to give something back to an industry that I love working in.

Helping to rebuild a local community facility

The Southmead Adventure Playground in Bristol, known to the locals as “The Ranch” had sadly fallen into disrepair and was no longer fit for purpose. Nick Knowles and the team at DIY SOS gathered a group of local volunteers and professional trades people to bring this community facility back to life.

What an amazing experience for the Ground Force Landscaping Team!

Myself and my team donated a week of our time and expertise to work along side other experienced trades people and volunteers from 23rd October to 27th October 2021. They were long and physically challenging days, but we had an amazing time. Working with the team from DIY SOS, I got to experience 5 days of working with an incredible team and seeing how the TV program is pulled together.

I can’t wait to watch the episode and see the outcome of everyone’s efforts.
