Alistair Appleton helps a young couple search for their first home together in the Oxfordshire countryside. They are hoping for space to accommodate a rabbit palace and an impressive collection of houseplants.

Alistair also pays a visit to the University of Oxford Botanic Garden, where he discovers how nature is inspiring exciting new technological developments.

After 30 years in what was meant to be a temporary home in the city of Stoke-on-Trent, today's couple is finally ready to make their escape to Wiltshire to be closer to family. With a firm belief that separate bathrooms are the secret to a happy marriage, they turn to Ginny Buckley to find them their perfect property.

Ginny takes a break from the house search to meet someone already living the Wiltshire country dream by creating jams, chutneys and pickles.
