On the south coast he is presented with a front garden ravaged by salty winds, and in Snowdonia he helps a mountainside garden stuck between a rockery and a hard place.

Monty Don, one of Britain's favorite gardeners, has spent the last year working with enthusiasts up and down the country to help them create the garden of their dreams. He has listened to their plans, he has given them advice, and he has rolled up his sleeves to help make their dreams come true. Monty faces some of the most unexpected ideas - a Norwegian garden complete with waterfalls and other big plans to be fashioned out of a tiny back yard in Dorset, and nothing less than a Japanese tea garden to be created out of an overgrown patch of ground in Bromley. There's plenty of mud, sweat and tears, and at times the ideas seem little more than pipe dreams. Can they make it in the end? And what is Monty's final verdict?
