SAY WHAT?

Your Garden Made Perfect fans all say the same thing about so-called ‘child friendly’ garden

YOUR Garden Made Perfect fans have been left scratching their heads after a couple were presented with a so-called child friendly garden - complete with giant pond.

Rachael and Tom, both 28, appeared on the BBC Two show in a bid to transform their ramshackle "trip-hazard" back yard.

The engaged couple had £25,000 to spend on their garden makeover and asked for something family-friendly, as they plan to have children.

They described their house as their "forever home" and said they hoped the outside space would be enjoyed by "generations to come".

But viewers of the show were baffled after expert gardener Tom Massey designed them a 'wild wonderland' garden featuring a huge pond.

It even had "a jetty for toe-dipping".

Yet Tom told them: "You've got these little pathways that lead you through the planting. It's fun little routes that maybe kids could explore."

And talking about the pond, he added: "You might slip in and get your feet wet. It's all part of the fun of having that experiential garden."

Taking to Twitter, Your Garden Made Perfect fans, which is hosted by Angela Scanlon, shared their horror at the "dangerous" addition to the plans.

One tweeted: "So no worries about future kids falling in the water then? #YourGardenMadePerfect."

Another added: "#YourGardenMadePerfect I simply can't understand why the designer doesn't realise how dangerous that pond would be for their children."

A third wrote: "Oof, massive pond for their future brood to run around and straight into 👍🏻 #YourGardenMadePerfect."

A puzzled fourth viewer asked: "Mmm where’s the swing, trampoline, kids toys etc going in the future, no worries they’ve got a pond!

"Did he listen to the brief? Going to have kids #YourGardenMadePerfect."

Rachael and Tom, from Manchester, were also shown another design that featured a shipping container-come-garden room, and no water.

But bizarrely, the couple opted for designer Tom's plans with the pond and jetty.

Upon hearing this, one fan raged: "Of course they picked the one with a potential pool of death, a pond is not child friendly!!! Gah. T***s. #YourGardenMadePerfect."
