The garden is 'boring' and 'green'. - Aylesbury

They would love to challenge the designers to tackle the slope at the bottom of their garden, which is the sunniest spot. - Shrewsbury
E16ShrewsburyRoxy and Steve live in Shrewsbury with their young children Ted and Betsy, but their blank and boring garden has nothing exciting for children. In fact, it's so bad that when Ted and Betsy's nine-year-old cousin came round to play, she complained there was nothing to do in the garden! It's time for firefighter Steve to call in the garden emergency services. Can Charlie Dimmock and the Rich brothers, Harry and David, come up with a plan to turn this suburban patch of grass into a kids' playtime paradise? As ever, the two design teams go head to head to create the winning design, with the garden owner having to pick the one they like the most. Who will Roxy and Steve pick to design their garden, what will the results look like, and - most importantly - will the kids and their cousin give it the all-important thumbs up? - Lee-on-Solent
E17Lee-on-SolentSheena and James have saved hard to raise £2,500 to create their dream garden in their Lee-on-Solent home. 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? - Bitterne

Having travelled a lot in Asia, the couple would love to have influences that reflect the gardens of Asia in their south east English home. 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. Once presented with the two gardens, the couple have to pick the one they like the most. It's a difficult decision, but who will Amanda and Lewis finally settle on? And will it fulfil their desires for a touch of Asian inspiration? - Winchester
E19WinchesterIn Winchester, busy doctor Carolyn wants a tranquil spot to help her escape the stresses of her high-pressure job. 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. Once Carolyn has picked her favourite garden, Charlie, Harry and David, along with their regular landscape team, turn up to transform Carolyn's tired back garden in to a coastal oasis, perfect to revive even the hardest-working doctor! However, it's pouring with rain throughout the entire build, making the job a mammoth battle against the elements. Do they manage to complete the garden rescue in time? - Stratford-Upon-Avon
E20Stratford-Upon-AvonIn 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? - Teignmouth
E21TeignmouthDanielle 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? - Stowmarket
E23StowmarketIn 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. After a career serving all over the world, army veteran Jason, his wife Esther and their four children have finally put down roots, but the trouble is, their garden literally has no roots - it's little more than a concrete car park. It is the ultimate test for Charlie and the Rich brothers, Harry and David. - Wolverhampton
E24WolverhamptonCharlie 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. Maureen has lupus, and she comes out in bad rashes if her skin is exposed to the sun. As a result, Maureen has been unable to sit out and enjoy her garden for the last few years. Can the team bring the all-important shade that she needs, while also maintaining the colourful plant this Jamaica-born lady loves?
