Bindu and Vivek have recently taken on their first garden after years of living in flats. Originally from India, Bindu grew up with a garden full of vegetables, nature and birdsong, and he would like to recreate a bit of that in their modest garden in Warrington.

With a relatively small budget of £3,000, can Charlie and Lee create a garden that is both eco-friendly and looks beautiful?

Can Flo and Lee make his Mediterranean island dreams come true with a budget of £6,000?
