Big Dreams, Small Spaces

Monty Don will be battling to turn a clay clogged building site in Petworth into a piece of Portugal and he'll be helping a couple from Cadeby cut back 20 years of overgrowth to realise their passion for produce.

Two plant-obsessed enthusiasts try to bring alive their dream gardens. Truck driver Gary has ambitious plans to make a garden for his girlfriend Rox. And Sandra, a widow, is moving into a new home and living alone for the first time in her life.

Monty Don joins enthusiastic amateur gardeners with grand dreams for their outdoor spaces.

Monty helps two families create gardens that are as much for the children as for the adults. Nikki and John plan to make a garden with solely edible plants. Nicola and John have quirky ideas of creating a model village and a seaside garden.

After a honeymoon in Norway, Helen and Tim return to their garden feeling inspired to create a natural looking mountainous landscape with a waterfall. Joan and David lead stressful lives so they need a place to unwind with a tranquil Japanese garden.

In Salisbury, newly-engaged Glenn and Zoe want a brand new garden and most of all they are desperate to produce flowers for their wedding. In Barnet, Monty gets stuck in on an overgrown allotment which is being turned into a site for keeping bees.
