This week Diarmuid helps design a garden for Mary Fitzpatrick, in County Wicklow, who has a challenging space at the front of her house. He also offers advice for gardeners with a bit of help from plant expert Helen Dillon, and creates a sunken fire pit and seating area in his garden.

This week he helps design a garden for the Hanway family in Howth, who have a shedload of ideas for their garden but no firm plan. For those wanting to live the good life themselves, Diarmuid gets advice from chef Rachel Allen, who helps him fulfil his dream of keeping chickens in the garden.
