Roxy and Steve live in Shrewsbury with their young children Ted and Betsy, but their blank and boring garden has nothing exciting for children.

However, Sheena has run aground in her efforts to create a garden that is green and tree filled but also a nod to the coastal area they live in, as well as appealing to both the couple's extended family and the area's wildlife that James has, so far, failed to tempt into their garden. Sheena has another unlikely request for the bespoke garden design - it has to work around her beloved washing line. As ever, Charlie goes head to head with the Rich brothers to create a garden design that satisfies all the needs of Sheena and James, and all within their limited budget. Once presented with the two gardens, the couple have to pick the one they like the most. Who will James and Sheena plump for? And will it fulfil all their many needs?

As ever, the design trio come to Bitterne to find out a bit more about the couple and their tastes for the exotic. Charlie Dimmock then goes head to head with the Rich brothers to create a garden design that satisfies all the needs of the young, trendy couple, and all within their budget.

And will it fulfil their desires for a touch of Asian inspiration?

Her happy place has always been by the beach, where she has happy memories of going as a child with her grandparents, so can the team bring a touch of the beach to her back garden? It is a challenge as there are very few living plants in her garden to start with. Despite this, both Harry and David Rich and Charlie Dimmock come up with a wonderful pair of coast-inspired garden designs, leaving Carolyn with the difficult choice of having to pick one.

In Stratford, Simon and Steve want a stylish garden. But can the team come up with something that's equal part both stylishly modern and with hints of Tudor heritage? And how about Simon and Steve's other request? A first for the designers - a feature in the garden that nods to the couple's interest and career in the car industry. Brothers Harry and David Rich and rival garden designer Charlie Dimmock all take a trip up to Stratford-upon-Avon, in the West Midlands, to meet Simon and Steve to see if they can get some more inspiration. After which, it's time for the two teams to create and pitch their designs for the couple. But Simon and Steve can only choose one design to spend their £4,000 budget on. So will it be Charlie's design, complete with a car exhaust sculpture park, or the Rich brothers' sophisticated garden with a large ornamental pool? And will the winning design be everything that the couple are expecting?
Danielle and Andy in Teignmouth have a wonderful opportunity to create a delightful terraced garden in the back of their smart new home. The only problem is they don't have the green fingers to do their garden justice. Luckily, this is where the Garden Rescue team come in. Inspired by their trips to Morocco, Danielle and Andy are after a touch of the Marrakesh riad courtyard garden and have a £2,500 budget to make their exotic dream come true. Charlie Dimmock and the Rich brothers, Harry and David, take a trip to sunny Teignmouth to see the garden for themselves and, inspired by their visit, come up with a pair of competing garden designs to bring a touch of Marrakesh to south Devon. Marrakesh gardens are famous for their bold use of strong colours, bright tiles, mirrors and water features in courtyard spaces, but will Danielle and Andy plump for Charlie or the Rich brothers' interpretation of this look for their dream garden?
Steve and Alice in Exeter are after an Ibiza-flavoured outdoor space, inspired by Alice's past living abroad. They have a budget of £2,500 and want a finished garden that will do justice to their new kitchen extension which spills outdoors through large bi-fold doors. But the garden also has to work as a family space that entertains their two young children. Charlie and the Rich brothers take a trip to Exeter to see what clues they can find to inspire their two rival designs. Armed with this intel, they pitch their two different interpretations of Steve and Alice's Ibiza-influenced family garden, but who will win the right to rescue the couple's garden from its current boring blank space? And when the work is done and Steve and Alice get to see the dramatic reveal, will they think their money and all the team's hard work has been worth it?
In Stowmarket, Charlie and the Rich brothers face one of their hardest ever garden rescues as they have to turn a total concrete jungle into a family-friendly back garden.

It is the ultimate test for Charlie and the Rich brothers, Harry and David.
Charlie Dimmock and the Rich brothers are in Wolverhampton to visit Bob and Maureen, who have a south-facing garden and are in desperate need of some shade.

Can the team bring the all-important shade that she needs, while also maintaining the colourful plant this Jamaica-born lady loves?

The magnolias and tree ferns of New Orleans are also on the list for this fun-loving couple. Can Charlie and Lee bring New Orleans to Chorlton with £4,000?
Sid and Dan would like their dual heritage reflected in their first garden together; Dan is of Polish and German heritage whilst Sid would love the designers to reflect his Indian background.

They both love to entertain and need a more coherent space in which to socialise. Can the team come up with a design to meet these disparate demands for £4,500?
After many years in the armed forces, this is Chris and Karina's first forever home. Chris hates the garage, and Karina hates the path. They both want Charlie and Lee to help them reimagine their garden with £3,000. The couple's children, Barney and Felix, need a place to let off some energy, and Chris and Karina want a calming family zone to come together at the end of a long day.

The couple would like Charlie and Flo to make the most of the blank canvas and create a woodland walk with surprise, hidden views and unusual plants. Charlie loves the quirky design brief for this garden, and Flo pulls out all the stops to create the complete redesign. Jenny and Adrian have a tricky decision to make.

With a £4,000 budget, Annie and Dexter have high hopes for an Asian-inspired garden with lots of colourful plants in which to entertain their friends and family, and to remind Annie of her Taiwanese heritage. This is their first garden together and, so far, they only have Dexter’s pull-up bars and one solitary plant in it. Lee and Flo’s challenge is to design a more private garden in which Annie and Dexter will be happy to spend more time. Annie wants a nod to the tropical gardens of her childhood with colour and energy, but this is Hampshire, so whose design will capture this young couple's dream?

Each designer has a plan to address the different level changes and make the most of the patio, but as ever it’s the details that win the pitch on the day.

The Garden Rescue team is in Fleet, where dad Stuart and his daughter Freya need their help to create separate, more private spaces.

A water feature is a must-have, as she wants to be able to relax on a new terrace and listen to the gentle sound of rippling water. She would also like a raised bed to grow vegetables, and may be a growing wall too. Can the designers create all of this for £5,000?
Daniel and Saleha have called in Charlie and Flo to help them with their bland, overlooked new-build garden.

Charlie and Flo are brimming with ideas for a vibrant garden rescue for £4,000.
It is vital that Catherine has a garden in which to relax and recuperate as she recovers from multiple brain surgeries. The space should also help her to maintain a good level of fitness to give her the best chance of recovery.

Chris and Lee rise to the challenge, and both have peace and calm at the core of their schemes - replacing the brown and uninviting garden with a green and tranquil space.

Charlie and Chris are up for the challenge and find lots to like about the existing features in the garden, including the superb but neglected pleached beech trees. Making the most of what’s already there will help stretch the £3,000 budget, but will the couple go for Chris’s more formal design or Charlie’s more informal approach?

John and Vanessa want a garden reminiscent of Oman, the desert kingdom where they first met. The large raised planter right outside the back doors - nicknamed the sarcophagus - is outdated and dominates the garden, and John and Vanessa are desperate for it to go, but they are keen for the materials to be reused to make the most of their £4,000 budget. John loves a fire, and the couple love to entertain, so they need space for an area in which to socialise. The gloomy garage with north-facing wall needs brightening up, and shade-tolerant planting will do the job. Will Chris’s wadi-inspired desert garden complete with oasis pond win the day, or will Charlie’s more gentle blend of cottage and courtyard persuade the couple to choose her design?
Lauren and Jonathan first met when they starred in a production of Peter Pan together, and so they would like Charlie and Chris to reflect this theme in their design.

Both designers see the potential for lots of fun, and they set to work on creating gorgeous designs for the couple to choose from. But has Chris gone too far in reimagining Neverland in Birmingham, or has Charlie allowed herself to get carried away with the magical, imaginary setting.

The old deck is rotten and slippery, and there’s an unusual fence separating the garden from a garden room used by the previous owners as a separate annexe. They’ve got £5,500 for Charlie and Chris to work with, but can they bring both parts of the garden back together as a family garden in which the twins can play while David and Alice make the most of the evening sun at the back of the garden?
Ben and Ruth need the help of the Garden Rescue team to transform their dated garden into something more chic. There’s currently too much concrete and too many level changes for it to be safe for baby Eve.

Can Charlie and Lee come up with a design that ticks all the boxes for £2,500?
