George Clarke's Kitchen vs Garden

George helps people across the country make the most of their space and design innovative homes. In Bromley, south London, George is helped by garden designer Luke Millard to come up with a stunning extension to include a gorgeous kitchen featuring curved arches for seasoned renovators Mitch and Elliot. An inspirational garden design is also part of their ambitious dream, but even for the most experienced home renovators, the best-laid plans can go awry as a flood scuppers their plans.

George is in the north-east London suburb of Woodford Green, where he meets widow Shaz and her two growing children in their classic Victorian terrace home. After the death of husband and father David, the family are determined to stay in the house they all shared, so George is called upon to confront what needs to change while preserving the family's memories of David in the house and garden and futureproofing the home for Shaz and her children.

Architect George teams up with garden designer Luke Millard to offer people two design solutions - one for the kitchen and one for the outside - before the homeowners' decide how much of their budget to allocate to each improvement. They start out in Essex, where solicitor Gemma is firmly team garden, while her husband Scott is much more keen on spending the lion's share of their money on the kitchen

George and garden designer Luke Millard are in Exmouth, where Dan and Immy have a choice between a high-end kitchen to suit their eclectic taste or a Mediterranean-style garden. The presenters design both but only when the homeowners see the potential and the expense involved do they choose which one gets the lion's share of the renovation budget.  

In Matlock, Derbyshire, wheelchair user Ben is in serious need of an accessible kitchen and garden that works for the whole family. George and Luke Millard help him decide where his budget should go.
