Alan Titchmarsh and his team return with a new series of the gardening show, which helps people create their dream outdoor space. This week, he surprises Louise from Hampshire, who is suffering from a life-threatening illness. The team set to work creating a stunning Japanese-style garden for her. Alan looks for inspiration at an amazing oriental garden called the Apple Court while Katie Rushworth searches for dramatic Japanese plants and Francis Tophill plants different varieties of bamboo.
