Private Notes
As the makeover show returns, Alan Titchmarsh and the team heads to Fareham near Southampton to surprise Betty Richards, a life-long volunteer. The 90 year old suffers from macular degeneration, and her garden is a green-free concrete box - with so many levels and trip hazards that it's off limits to the sight-impaired dare-devil fundraiser, so the team sets about transforming it into a safe haven.
Alan Titchmarsh makes over a garden in Newark for a double-amputee veteran Nathan Cumberland and his young family. Despite his injuries, through his work with the Defence Medical Welfare Service charity, Nathan has devoted his life outside the armed forces to supporting older and elderly veterans who are often less likely to seek help for themselves than their younger counterparts. With tips on how to create a beautiful woodland themed outdoor space, Alan, Katie Rushworth, Frances Tophill and David Domoney take on Nathan's inaccessible plot and transform it into a show-stopping family garden.
Alan Titchmarsh and his team heads to Essex to surprise selfless retired Nurse Pat Wade, who was the first person in the UK to set up a charity for young burn survivors - The Children's Burns Club. Alan, Katie Rushworth, Frances Tophill and David Domoney turn Pat's tiny concrete-covered backyard into an outdoor entertaining space - filled with flowers and bling.
With the support of fiance Michael Brown, Preston mum Roisin Pelan is facing stage 3C cancer. Despite enduring challenging treatment, she has raised thousands for charities and is determined to see young daughter Ivy grow up. Alan Titchmarsh, David Domoney, Frances Tophill and Katie Rushworth proceed to turn their dangerous sloping garden into a stunning music festival-inspired haven.
Fundraiser Irene Hicks receives the experts' help for her overcrowded Cardiff home, as Alan Titchmarsh and the team create a peaceful haven that has plenty of practical touches. David Domoney shows how veg can make an attractive addition to any garden, and Frances Tophill creates colourful butterfly decorations and a reflective raised pond.
Alan Titchmarsh and his team surprise a foster parent in Nottingham, creating a lush Caribbean haven that evokes her father's garden in Jamaica. Mother-of-two Fiona Kirlew has fostered more than 40 children, despite only being 36 years old, and was nominated by one of her former foster children as a gesture of just how much they owe to Fiona's commitment to giving them the best start in life.
Alan Titchmarsh and the team heads to the Yorkshire Dales to surprise Jim Thompson, a terminally ill 65-year-old grandfather and fundraiser. Despite Jim's own diagnosis, his commitment to spreading awareness and raising money for prostate cancer charities are legendary in the area, including creating a 'Calendar Girls' style naked calendar. Inspired by his bravery and dedication, the makeover team decide to turn Jim's overgrown and dangerous plot into a classic cottage garden with a Yorkshire twist.
The team are in Hackney, where they surprise Jeroume and Onessa Cariazo, the parents of wheelchair-bound nine-year-old Elijah, who suffers from myotubular myopathy. Alan Titchmarsh, Katie Rushworth, Frances Tophill and David Domoney give Elijah the sensory stimulation he craves, transforming the family's uneven overgrown urban courtyard into an accessible paradise complete with tropical water feature, a sensory beach and Asian-style dining zone.
