This one-off special reveals how – with the right design, plants and a succession of tips, tricks, clever ideas – small plots can not only be made to look and feel bigger but can become wonderful places to be.   

In London, for dedicated charity worker Maxine, they use theatrical tricks to turn a tiny, super-narrow backyard into a quiet leafy escape in the city - and by using bold exotic planting, clever hidden storage areas and multifunctioning features the knowledgeable team transform a cluttered mini-new-build plot for a family of five in Kent.  

Both transformations leave the owners astonished.
