Garden Rescue tour coming to Leicester
The show offers a chance to step behind the scenes of the BBC series while celebrating the joy of gardening
The BBC’s hit green-fingered makeover show Garden Rescue is heading out on the road for the first time – and will be stopping off in Leicester.
Garden Rescue Live is a new live stage show bringing one of Britain’s best-loved gardening TV programmes directly to audiences across the UK. Hosted by Garden Rescue favourites Charlie Dimmock, Chris Hull, Flo Headlam and Lee Burkhill, the show offers a chance to step behind the scenes of the BBC series while celebrating the joy of gardening through stories, audience participation and plenty of laughter.
Garden Rescue sees Charlie, Chris, Flo and Lee transform unloved gardens up and down the nation into their owners’ dream outdoor spaces. It has become a firm favourite thanks to its imaginative designs, realistic budgets and the chemistry shared by the team.
The four presenters will talk about the stories behind their careers and their favourite gardens and the plants they cannot do without, alongside tales of the disasters, deadlines and unpredictable British weather that come with transforming a garden for television.
The audience is part of the action throughout, from a garden quiz that pits the presenters against each other to a live design challenge in which members of the public put their own garden dilemmas to the team.
Charlie Dimmock said: “What I’m most looking forward to about doing the Garden Rescue Live tour is meeting the people because it’s always so much fun you get to tell stories and have fun, lots of laughs, but also inspiring people, getting them to get enthusiastic about being out in the garden.
“We’re doing the tour in spring, which is a great time because everyone’s enthusiastic, the light levels are coming up, the weather’s looking good and you get inspired to go out into the garden.
“To come to Garden Rescue Live you don’t have to be a keen gardener - if you come along you will get inspired and get enthusiastic about that space you’ve got outside the back door no matter how tiny it is!”
The show comes to the De Montfort Hall on Tuesday March 30. Visit demontforthall.co.uk or call 0116 233 3111 to book.
