Meet Charlie Dimmock

HI CHARLIE ALWAYS CHEERFUL ALWAYS SEXY BUT TO CAN DOO A MANS JOB AND GET ON WITH IT NO MITHERING BUT STILL BE A REAL WOMAN THANKS FOR BEING JUST U FROM SID WILMSLOW CHESJIRE PS ;I D LOVE TO MEET U 1 DAY

hello Charlie - are you looking for any more 'bit of a challenge' gardens to transform? I have a husband going to Dublin in March for a few days and I would love to surprise him on his return....the trouble is he loves the overgrown look - has allowed a fuschia tree to take over a good bit of the lawn - likes the shade that the overgrown lilac tree has created - let a clump of grass overgrow because he thinks its a 'grass feature'...is there any hope??

If your looking for a challenge look no further. We have 3 children that would love to have a garden to play in, a mother who would love to give them what they want and for herself a garden for relaxing, but doesnt know where to start. A husband to be has not a green finger in sight and a garden that has no life. If you can bring our garden back from the dead this is the challenge for you. Challengers need only apply!

Hi Charlie! Seeing all the great makeovers you've done. I'd love it if you could sort out our garden which currently looks boring and lifeless with a big area of grass and one long border of roses. My husband to be wishes he could do more in the garden but due to a disease he has on his back this prevents him from doing any heavy work which is what he would love to do, to transform our garden. We also have a chocolate labradour so we'd have to take her into mind. If you are up for a challenge I would love you to visit our garden but also do it as a surprise for him.

Dear Charlie,
We are writing to you to ask if you would help to transform our roof garden .We are 6th form pupils who are moving to a brand new school and we are vey lucky to have a very bare but beautiful roof garden.We would like part of the roof garden to be a sensory area with water feature ,nice smelling plants and soft music and another area for growing fruit and vegtables [bit of agreen area] These features would help to assist our learning as many of us have difficulty learning . The 'green' area would help us to get our mini enterprise off the ground ,we want to start a small shop at school selling plants and fruit and veg that we grow to the teachers .The sensory area will give our friends with a more profound disability somewhere to relax and feel experiences.Our school is called The Mary Rose school and it is in Portsmouth in Hampshire. Thankyou from all the 6th form pupils

Dear Charlie I need you! Last year my husband decided to dig up our family garden to put in a family size swimming pool! Well now it looks like a bomb has hit it, no pool, broken fences and no grass.... cant hang the washing out before I tread in loads of mud first and most of all no where for our 3 year old to play. Please come and fix it.

Dear Charlie,

My mum has constantly been watching your program on her days off. She is a full time nurse and works very hard, and doesnt get much time for herself or to garden. She would love it if you were to transform our garden to perfection as you have always done with others. My mum would also like to hold a suprise birthday party for my brother who will be turning 18, in the garden. However this cannot be done at the moment with the state our garden is in. I would love to hear from you. Thanks

Hi Charlie,
Do yo fancy comming along an doing something with a big plain blank garden?
I am a Physical Education officer at HMP Chelmsford, (PE Teacher). I want to give the lads at work in the Gym a great BBQ and day at my house but I have a very plain and boring garden. The we all work hard helping the prisoners achieve NVQ's and other qualifications and I would like to have somewhere to treat the lads and lassies without being embaraced about my garden.

My husband had an affair when I was 4mth pregnant and I was devastated! My sister was there as my shoulder to cry on and helped me move house and re-decorate when I was 8mths pregnant. She was there at the difficult birth of my baby and has been my rock to guide me through this difficult time. I would like to say THANK YOU and show her how much she means to me by arranging for a makeover for her garden. It a 'wild' unusual garden, full of quirky feature and lies in the shadows of Meliden mountain in Wales, but it's been neglected through recent events and needs your TLC. Ironically my sister LOOKS LIKE YOU but doesn't have your green fingers! Many Thanks x

Hi, I have been onto the site to find out how to be considered for a garden makeover, but can't seem to find anything.

I would really like to nominate my mum to have a garden makeover. She is 56 and in her second year at university studying to be a nurse. She has been a single parent for fourteen-years and has had to work relentlessly ever since. With university and working so hard she doesn't have much time. And any time she does get, she spends it doing something for other people. She has always put other people before herself - she would do anything for anyone.

My brother, her son, has moderate learning difficulties and due to this has not been able to find work. However, he does have an interest in gardening and has tried to add some inspiration to her garden. Unfortunately, with little guidance and little money, his attempts have failed somewhat.

Furthermore, three months ago she lost her nearest and dearest sister to cancer. A low maintenance garden to take her mind from her loss or to give her a sanctuary to reminisce her fond memories would be the best thing I could give to a woman who is undoubtedly the most caring and incredible person I know.

Please help xxx

Hi Charlie
I moved into a house after my divorce 3 years ago with a slabbed back garden.
A neighbour said he would swap my slabs (they were put in by builder and he wanted to match his) for turf and he would lay it. He had slabs and reneged on deal. I have two kids aged 9 and 11 with no back garden to play in. They have tried to help dig up a twisted hazel tree from the middle of the garden but it won't shift!! We are now stuck with raised beds where rotten sleepers have been removed, an uneven small patio and a mudbath in the rain.
I had Wood Wasps in the rotten railway sleepers which I have got rid of.
I have run out of steam, inspiration and money.
Please help
Thanks Charlie
PS Will buy you a drink next time you are in NW Leics!!

Hi Charlie.

I lost my 34 year old stepson Ryan in November 2006, My wifes only child. She is devastated as you can imagine and we are dealing with things day to day.
He leaves 3 children as well so its more of a strain.
I am disabled due to a back problem and have been trying to build a simple water feature and now I want to add a waterfall. But I have no idea how to build one. I have a new pump and about 4ft square to play with, can you tell me the best way to build it?

I want to be able to put my sons name plate there so we can sit around it and remember him, I think listening to running water is a great way to relax too.

Thanks for reading and you and the guys do a fantastic job.

Regards

Andy

Hello Charlie, I was inspired by your love of gardening and since moving to a windy mountainside in North Wales, I have transformed it from a rocky, grassy, wasteland, to a fairly productive organic veggie/flower garden which has given me and my two children endless pleasure and calm. Which i needed after a horrible divorce. I built raised beds and fences, paths and even a dog kennel, because of your fearless approach and your refusal to quit, and i'd like to thank you for being a great inspiration. keep doing what you do
You are Fab

Hiya Charlie. Would you consider be a celebrity guest judge at a primary school talent show in July? (in Hampshire) . Many thanks : )

Hi Charlie,
You don't me but I am married to Bob Rowe who I think is your 3rd cousin ,he didn't know that he was related to you until recently,I believe you keep in touch with Brian Rowe(Bob's cousin) who lives in Romsey.
Apparently Bob's dad Stan Rowe was your grandfathers uncle a bit confusing I know but as I said I think that makes him your 3rd cousin.
It would thrill him to bits if you reply to this email as we both watch all of your progams &I think that he is quite proud to be a relation of yours
Regards Chris Rowe

Charlie we have met indirectly when you worked at The Mill in Romsey and you gave us advice when we planned our garden pond. I am now asking for your advice and skill in planning a large garden for a Care Home In Winchester. I have been fortunate to receive some government money to improve on the garden for the residents wellbeing and welfare.

Any chance of you and Tommy coming along to improve on the garden and just a spot of "ground force work". We are hoping to have an Open Day in September 07 as an inaugurial ceremony and to celebrate the homes 60th anniversary. The residents would love to have a garden as a show piece.

Charlie, I was wondering if you would consider helping me with a garden problem. First I'll tell you why I need help and then what the problem is. First of all, we moved in to this house about 6 years ago and the garden, we thought, was lovely. It is fully enclosed and hedged in with conifer trees. Problem is the conifers were allowed to get out of control and the rest of the garden was a DIY job belonging to the previous owner.

My husband isn't a gardener and to top it he's just been diagnosed with a brain tumor and has gone through radio therapy and now he's going through Chemo therapy. We also have a little boy with Autism so we do need the garden to stay fully enclosed. I was trying to do my bit in the garden, I got rid of a couple of the conifers and then one night I got run over when I was out getting my hubbies birthday cards. I have a metal frame on my leg now that is helping my bones to heal. I have neck injuries that may mean my hard gardening days are over and I am going to have to stick to potting plants! We have 3 children in total... a real handful but lovely kids.

PLEASE, PLEASE, WILL YOU GIVE US A LOOK IN when you are considering gardens for your future programmes.

We live in Northern Ireland, it's a lovely little town called NEWTOWNARDS. Great views around and lovely people.

I hope you give my plea some consideration but if not, all the best anyway.

To those asking for Chalie's help, may I point out this is a forum hosted on UK-TV style's website.
It doesn't mean Charlie actually reads any of these posts.
