Eighties pop diva-turned-gardener Kim Wilde and garden designer Nicola Mager join presenters Mark Evans and Nick Clark as this super gardening programme returns for a second series.
The programme is a unique quiz show with a horticultural twist. It's the first quiz show with a horticultural twist. It's the first quiz show of its kind to throw down the gauntlet to a horticulturally challenged family in desperate need of help. Their challenge is to battle against the clock and win items for the ultimate garden makeover.
The Invaders team tackles the most disastrous, diabolic and desperate gardens in a race against time with only 12 hours to complete the makeover. The pressure is on the family to try to win as many items as possible for their garden and the more items they win, the more dramatic the transformation. Joined by a team of student horticulturists, Kim or Nicola battle against the clock as each item won is used to transform a garden disaster into a Garden of Eden.
From handy hints to tense trepidation, for the green fingered or the unenlightened, Garden Invaders has something for everyone.
Please, Please, Please can you give us some ideas for are garden as we have a 200ft garden and not quite sure what to do with it, would be great to hear from you. Thank you

Pleeease help me. To surprise my mum on her 7oth birthday in Sept. She has just had a conservatory and part paved area laid to her back garden but I would really like some ideas on how to develop a low maintainance part of the back garden for her as she is alone now and unable to manage her large garden. She had someone to lay top soil around a poorly lawned area but this is of poor quality. To the top of this is a soiled area with mature trees which I think the trees could come out as they are planted in a large soiled area and when needs digging takes my husband a long time to do, Yours in anticipation, Many Thanks Sue.

My husband hasgiven up work fulltime to take care of his nan. He said to his grandad just before he passed away that he would not let her go in a home, so what i wanted to do was give him somewhere nice to sit and enjoy the garden while he is at home most of the time looking after her. So i would be very grateful if you would consider my garden to be part of the garden invaders programme. thank you.

I would love you to come and suprise my Husband with a garden makeover. We've managed to keep on top of cutting the lawn since we bought the house seven years ago but now he wants to completely re-do it. We've moved a flower bed which was about 6tons of soil but don't really know what to do now. What with the weather mainly being useless at the weekend we don't get much time to get out there and do it. Our daughter is nearly two and we were hoping to have a barbeque in the garden with her friends but the way it is now it's not safe for her or her friends. Please can you help us out with this, it would be very, very much appreciated.

I would like to nominate my sister for a garden make over, as she is the most wonderful person i know. I know this is not about sob stories, but my younger nephew (now two)was born with a potentially fatal heart condition and therefore spent the first 18months of his life making regular hospital trips. Thankfully he is doing very well now, but it would be lovely for both the boys to have a garden to play in as a reward for their patience.
Unfortunatley the garden was ruined when the much needed conservatory was built, and my sister did not have the funds to fix it.
I am unable to express in words how grateful I would be if you were able to help her.

I would like to apply for a garden makeover, i have lived in my house for 6 years now and tried on numerous times to get my garden done. I would like somewhere where my 5 yr old can play out as it is too dangerous for her to play in the street. My garden is quite large and very uneven hence the reason it has been difficult for myself and my partner to get started on it. Both myself and my partner work extremely long hours at work and would love to be able to relax in our garden at the end of a hard week.
PLEASE HELP

Hi there, i am just wondering about how you apply for a garden makeover, my daughter and her partner are expecting there first baby in august and the house they are living in has a large garden that was extreamly over run in the process of trying to sort it out the Grass has died and looks awful, it also has a steep slope from the top to the bottom which being pregnant means my daughter can't even go out into the garden and hang her washing out without risking a serious fall and as she is trying to work and redecorate the house while her partner works 7 days a week to keep them afloat they just haven't got the money or time to try and make it nice in time for the baby coming. I know it would make my daughter so happy if she were able to sit outside during the rest of the summer and know that as her baby grows up they to will be able to enjoy it together as a family. If you could make this possible i know it would make her so happy. Thank you, Susan Constable

I would like to have a garden make over. I recently bought my house as I had to down size. I have a lovley garden, over 200ft long. However, it is in a mess and I have been doing some work to it myself. I am finding it hard going and would love a professional touch put to it. Are you still in need of some lovley but quite empty spaces to bring some glamour to? My kids would love a more interesting garden to play in. Jayne.

Dear Garden invaders
I'd like to find out how to apply to be on the show, it is not for me but my Dad, he has been an exceptional person and I would like to say a HUGE thank you for his help over the years (not forgeting raising my sister and I during our teenage years and even now we are grown up he is always rushing to our aid!!). He is no longer able to look after his garden as well and it desperatly needs work done to it!!! It is a scalene triangle shape and in one corner is the house, an atempt of a patio,there are no flowers, bushes, nothing, just a mowed lawn. Im sure there is more that can be done. Thank you

Hi there,
We live in the welsh Rhondda valleys and have an absolute disaster for a garden! Since moving to the house 18 months ago we have almost finished rennovating the house but are at a loss to start the garden. It is a terraced plot that has a number of levels that have been built up with hardcore, bricks and patio slabs, then spanning the length of the garden is a swimming pool sized raised brick ornamental pond that has no fish! Its awful, we have no grass, plants or indeed living things (other than the dog) and my 2 young daughters hate it but we don't know where to start! Please please help us!

Dear Garden invaders, We could really do with your expertise on how to get the best of our garden. I would love to suprise my husband and have a garden makeover. My husband works 6 days a week and my time is took up by work taking care of our two young children and running the house. We love the outdoors and would love our garden to feel like an extension of our house, in order for us to use it to its full potential. We are not really green fingered, so it would be nice to have your input and expertise, so it was easy to maintain, but so it looked lovely all year around. We appreciate you have lots of people asking for your help and thank you for taking the time to read this. Please could you let me know more about the show, how to go about applying and how much etc. Thank you!

i'd love to get some help in re-doing some things in my daughter's garden. She is a nurse, so works very hard for others, does not have much time or money. Last year she and her boyfriend had a serious tragedy in losing their first and much wanted baby 21 weeks into the pregnancy. Emma is 34 and trying to cope and start again but is very anxious, to have her garden sorted would go some way to put a smile on her face. Thanks. it is a small town garden in Brighton and has limited access getting materials through the house to do the garden.

Dear garden invaders my fiance and I have recently moved a year ago and have a reasonable sized garden but really don't know where to start! We are told by friends we already have some lovely plants which were here when we moved. But were not very green fingered and keep killing what we already have. We plan to have a family very soon and our garden isn't very child friendly at all so would like to get this sorted with your help. At present we are concentrating on the inside as that too needs a lot of work! We would greatly appreciate any help you could give us. We live in a town called Ashby de la Zouch in Leicestershire.

Hi,
I would like to know how can I apply to the Garden Invaders Show.
We have a small garden, but due to a hectic lifestyle, kids and the normal busy-day-to-day commitments we have never been able to do our garden up. We would like to know more information about the show and how to apply.
Thanks

I've got some money set aside( not a lot- retired now !)Please can someone point me in right direction.
