I am looking for a garden makeover for a group of excluded/dissaffected young people who have recently been given a patch of land to create a green space/garden for young people to use for education and relaxation. I would love to give them a high profile start and although I appreciate that you are in the wrong area, I was wondering if you had any ideas or contacts that could help.
Thank you for your time.

I am desparate for a garden makeover ! i am self employed contract carer for Barnardos,which means i give short breaks to children/young people with disabilities at my home.I will also be giving a home to a young person soon as a long term placement. my garden is used but could be so much more enjoyable for the young people and we could learn things together about our environment and about ‘going green’. I live semi-rural and are embarressed to say i dont know where to start. It would be life changing for the young people and myself to sort my garden out. I LIVE IN HOPE YOU COULD HELP. Hopefully Davina xx

I would suggest contacting the TV series makers to find out whether they are doing another series. The email address is in the above post.

I wish I had known about this site earlier. I am determined to make my garden eco friendly and encourage sustainable development…but I’m struggling to even get borders created as I lack additional funds and the physical strength to complete it all. I would most love for my three boys to grow their own fruit and vegetables as I did when I was young. If you ever consider the small garden makeover for a family, then I would be extremely grateful for any help you can provide.

We have a garden the size of a football pitch, which has been badly neglected for years, we live in the countryside and it would be so nice to see some wildlife in the garden. This garden would be your bigest challenge!!!

I have a garden (inherited) which is a total rubbish dump, used to belong to a person with mental instability. Plenty of made fencing and scultures. But plenty of rubble. It has too much concrete in no bird or animal would like, although the neighbourhood cats use it as a playground or fighting ring! We’re so keen to build a huge compost heap and veggie patch but we we need help. The chaos is too big for us. In our old garden we recycled, composted and grew, tomatoes, rocket, courgettes and all herbs. Now all there is is weeds and wild mint! Help

I just heard of a possible environmental show in Australia and now this. If this will be another TV trend, I wouldn’t mind it one bit.
