The show features a very similar premise to the show Ground Force , in which a team of gardeners, and local volunteers employed by the show descend on an individual's place and improve the garden for the cameras within a specified time limit. People whose gardens are made over are nominated by the public, often for the voluntary work they have done within the community. [2] [3]
