Your Garden Made Perfect

Standing in digital versions of their uninspiring plots, an extraordinary transformation will take place, revealing spaces that fundamentally improve the way people live.

In each episode, competing designers will go head-to-head producing their vision of how a neglected space could be reimagined. The owners must then decide which ingenious design to turn into reality. It’s designer v designer as they vie to win the commission and build their garden in real-life, but the ultimate goal is a new space that allows the family to live in a way they could previously only dream of.
