A new housing development in a small village called Rowlestown, North County Dublin is home to the latest contest as five designers are given an identical garden as their blank canvas to create their entry. The first designer, Dermot Melia from Co Meath, has a background in landscaping. Homeowner, Nicola Clancy is looking for whimsical, low maintenance, social garden, to enjoy with her twin boys, reserving a romantic area just for her.

The third designer, Mark Hoey, works full time as a landscape gardener. Homeowner, Shelly Gaynor has cerebral palsy and wants a garden that's both beautiful and universally accessible to enjoy with her family and friends. Mark designs a `reflection" garden for her using black-water pools to bring in the sky and surrounding plants into the garden and help create a sanctuary. Mark has just three weeks to build his garden and prove to the judges that he has what it takes to go to Bloom 2021.
