Devizes
Season 7, Episode 32
Charlie Dimmock and Chris Hull are challenged to turn a tired old garden into a space inspired by the Middle East. John and Vanessa want a garden reminiscent of Oman, the desert kingdom where they first met. The large raised planter right outside the back doors - nicknamed the sarcophagus - is outdated and dominates the garden, and John and Vanessa are desperate for it to go, but they are keen for the materials to be reused to make the most of their £4,000 budget
