A family from Yate’s swashbuckling dreams bloomed into reality when the Garden Rescue team descended on their South Gloucestershire property. Liz and Geoff called on the Garden Rescue team last year, with the hopes that they would be able to turn their bleak looking garden into a nautical paradise.
With a £4,500 budget, Liz and Geoff wanted their muddy patch of land to be turned into something Captain Jack Sparrow would feel at home in. Although their wish for a pirate-themed garden may seem a bit random, there was personal reasoning for their choice.
Liz’s late father was known as ‘The Pirate’, and had big plans for the couple’s garden. Liz explained in the episode, which aired last year: “We’d had some sort of tongue in cheek conversations with him and he’d said he’d love a pirate’s pond with a plank across it.
