Croydon

Lee and Diarmuid are in Croydon to help sisters Lynette and Natalie rescue their vast, sun-baked plot, where weeds have taken over, veggie beds are impossible to reach and a polytunnel and pallets leave little room for peace.

The sisters dream of a retreat garden where they can reconnect with nature – a hidden, tranquil space filled with scents, sounds and colour. They’d love raised, no-dig beds for veggies and propagation, plus a spot to sit and just relax.

Having spent the last 18 months living together and supporting their community through wilderness gardening projects, Lynette and Natalie are ready to create a sanctuary of their own.

Can the team transform this cluttered space into a peaceful retreat for £5,500?
