Did anyone else feel that the BB8 garden lacked that glorious BB summer feel??

I thought last year's garden had a good design.

What was wrong with it was the size. It was far too small.

[Spike]

I liked the garden last year but I agree with Matt it was too small.

[Sam!]

And too square. I loved how round the BB7 garden was.

To me last years garden didn't feel like a garden. It just felt like another room that happened to have no roof.

i agree the bb garden should have a nice summer chillout feel

The last few gardens have had issues in some way or another

- BB5 : Too small
- BB6: One side was far to bare, everything seemed to be bunched at one end.
- BB7: It was very dull and had died by week 8 lol
- BB8: Far too small (But my fav area of the BB8 house)

totally! compared to BB7 which looked so summery, BB8 was like a museum. But in fairness, the weather probably had alot to do with it. The fact that it rained non stop!

BB7 was the best and had great features in it, the pool, the red and white chairs, nowhere, the bbq area bit. It was a nice garden. The grass ruined it.

yeah those red chairs were delicious!! i also loved the little grassy "knowles" as Davina put it!! But I think the grass was just disgusting after a while, but it was out of BB's control!

No fear of a shortage of water last year lol!!

The colours in the BB7 garden depressed me and the grass made it look even worse. For some reason it always looked dull and grey. I'm so glad they changed it for CBB5!

I actually didn't like the table outside. it was far too grey!!

Too small, too plastic.

[MR.K!]

the BB8 garden was too small. the plastic grass made it feel very fake and the corrigated metal walls made the garden feel enclosed, cold and drab, also the pool was square; infact the whole garden was which was like a coffin, also the blue walls didnt invite a summery theme. For BB9 id like to see a similar garden to BB7, or some brand new garden ideas, mabe exotic plants and strange sculptures
