Ilkeston

Martin and Neil met 35 years ago, and they have put a lot of energy into renovating their home and back garden, injecting it with their personality. The same can’t be said for their front garden, which is devoid of character - flat, dull, and uninspiring, with an impractical grassy area and a gate leading nowhere.

With a penchant for quirky style, they would like a unique front garden to impress the neighbours. The duo like the idea of a knot garden but have been nervous to attempt one themselves, and they adore roses.

Their dream garden would blend Victorian, Regency and Elizabethan styles to echo design elements from within their home. With a budget of £4,000, Charlie and Lee compete to create a design that resonates with this eclectic couple.
