Kick back and relax this December with exciting shows from The Home Channel and The Home Channel +.
Great British Gardens
Great British Gardens takes us on a guided tour of four of the most beautiful and important gardens in Britain.
Each episode explores one stunning garden, and taking us though them is gardening guru, Carol Klein. From the arts-and-craft treasure of Great Dixter in the Sussex Weald, to the Gravetye Manor in East Sussex with its enviable kitchen garden and Gresgarth Hall, Carol visits each garden, meets the people who care for them, and learns the secrets of some of Britain’s most treasured outdoor spaces.
Learn about the history, how they have changed over the years and how they keep these green treasures looking as stunning as they do.
Tuesdays 21:30 / Fridays 17:30
Sarah Off The Grid
Sarah Richardson tackles a new, sustainable living project on this season of Sarah Off The Grid. After working with her husband Alex to successfully build their biggest project yet – a 5,000 square-foot off-the-grid house – Sarah is looking for her next big build and design challenge.
She’s discovered a historic house in the charming, small town of Creemore, and plans to convert it into a seasonal rental. It’s a big project with a fixed budget, too-tight timelines, and the unpredictability of an old building! To top it off are the strong opinions and even stronger personalities of her husband, Alex, and her partner in design, Tommy Smyth. She’s gone off the grid before, but, is her dream to give a rundown country house a Cinderella-makeover a stroke of genius or more marital stress than anyone needs?
Tuesdays 20:00 / Fridays 16:00
Grand Designs New Zealand
Grand Designs New Zealand meets creative and enterprising New Zealanders who are taking on the challenge of building their own unique and inspirational homes.
This season promises to deliver a range of stunning homes in exotic locations guaranteed to have you hooked to your screen. Pushing the boundaries as always, each project is both daunting and impressive, as people grapple with extreme geographical adversity, ever-rising build costs and erratic weather conditions.
Packed with high-stakes jeopardy, this series features a young builder who creates a glass home on top of a bridge over a stream in one of the coldest parts of the country.
In another South Island adventure, a single dad bent on creating a cheap sustainable housing solution for his family, designs a tiny, domed living space, on a slope so steep and inaccessible he has to dig every pile hole himself – six years in the making, we’re about to see the final results.
Tuesdays 17:00 / Thursdays 21:00
