The Party Garden

Accountants Paul and Trix want to be able to use their outdoor space for anything--from an intimate meal for two all the way up to a full-on house party. They bought their terraced home just over a year ago after being seduced by the decor, but while they're more than happy with the interior, the back garden is in urgent need of attention.

Low-Maintenance Country-Cottage Garden

Homeowner Emma works as a cabin crew member on long-distance flights. She bought her terraced house five years ago and has spent a lot of time and money renovating the inside, but up until now she's ignored the space out back. She wants to convert the dull, square, concrete patio into a beautiful, country-cottage-style idyll, but the design will have to be low maintenance because Emma's job prevents her from taking on anything that needs constant attention. And that's not going to be easy.

Little Courtyard Garden

Homeowners Sarah and Simon have a garden that they never use. It can be described as a dull concrete slab--and that's being charitable.

Outdoor Workspace

It's host Matt James' worst nightmare--a garden that is short, wide and built into a hillside.
