As ever, Charlie goes head to head with the Rich brothers to create a garden design that satisfies all the needs of Sheena and James, and all within their limited budget.

Armed with this intel, they pitch their two different interpretations of Steve and Alice's Ibiza-influenced family garden, but who will win the right to rescue the couple's garden from its current boring blank space?
