HI there,
I am trying to find out how to apply to take part in one of your garden makeovers, my wife is a keen gardener but would like to change the style of the garden as we have only small borders at either side of the garden the rest of the garden is paving stones and she would like to take the paving stones up and have more area for planting. i am unable to help my wife with any heavy work as i am disabled and suffer from chronic emphysema and have to have oxygen to help me to breathe,my wife would really appreciate some help with all the heavy work needed to get the garden how she has always wanted it, i hope your team can help as it would be a lovley way to show my wife how much i love her and appreciate all she does for me since my health has deteriorated,we watch your show and my wife always knows the answers to the questions so she would be great on the questions i wouln't be able to do any heavy work but one of our sons would help out to do all the heavy work i would like to have the garden done as soon as possible so that my wife will be able to enjoy it all through the summer.many thank's

I was going to apply to this show last year but didn't get round to it. It is a BBC midlands show. The entry dates are only for so long each year and I'm not sure when they start. If I were you I would keep my eye on the BBC website. Hope I helped and good luck.

Hug I have all the hard landscaping done. I now need a gardener for the plants. After all that really is what a gardener cares for. Any friendly invader is welcome anytime. I will supply tea, coffee, buns etc. and on com;pletion beer, wine spirits dancing girls (well maybe not). Is anybody out there?????????????

Hi, My name is Anju. I and my husband are both doctors by profession. My husband is very keen on gardening, and we have just moved into our first home. I am at home taking care of my son who has just turned one and I am 30 weeeks pregnant at present. As we do not have any family here, my husband is having to take care of almost everything when he is home. I am unable to do much as I am growing bigger by the day. I love my husband and wish to show him that I really love and appreciate him. We have a good size garden, but it is a plain canvass. He has been buying palnts and would love to complete the garden before our next baby, but is able to do only little at a time.
I would be highly obliged if you could invade our garden and sprinkle your magic dust. Thanks
Anju

How do I get the Garden Invaders team to try and tackle my garden (south facing)? At the moment it's just over grown grass, with some bushes and shrubs around the edge.
My partner and I have been in our house for almost 2 years now. We are still decorating the house, and have no time for the garden. We are really wanting to get it done before we all lose Summer completely.
I have been watching all your gardening programmes for ideas but just don't know where to start. Please help.
Danke.

Cool i have just had my patio done, how expensive was that. i have a few ideas about my garden,i have a southfacing garden with a tall (10ft) bush on the right and fence panels on the left. I was wanting a water feature, but i have a 4months old and a set of 5year old twins. I have a 12year old too and alot of balls playing. i would like to partition some of the garden just for me. could i have some advice on the kind of plants( evergreen, flowers and vegatables) i could put in my garden and were would be the best spots. Also can you suggest some kind of temple/feng shui water feature. 4 boys and a husband with a football is plenty of stress for me to need a bit of tranquality. Thanks Tracey
