Judges' Choice: Wayne Amiel, London

A north-facing site full of builders’ rubble is what Wayne Amiel faced when he moved into his south London home. Over eight years, he's managed to create a slice of Jamaica, on a shoe-string budget. Discover more from Wayne's garden on YouTube.

Wayne has won First Prize, a holiday to Japan for two worth £5,000, courtesy of Flight Centre.

A brave and exuberant garden - it's amazing! Imagine finding this in the middle of London.

Highly Commended: Tim Richardson, Sussex

A boring back garden laid to lawn has been transformed into a jungle hideaway. Tim Richardson and his partner have worked tirelessly over the past 19 years, doing all of the work themselves. Discover more from Tim's garden on YouTube.

Tim has won Second Prize, a holiday to Singapore for two worth £2,500, courtesy of Flight Centre.

A tasteful and beautiful explosion of tropicana - the foliage contrast and use of colour is amazing.

Highly Commended: John Tordoff, Cambridge

What was once a derelict yard now transports you to the courtyards of Spain and Morocco. John Tordoff’s theatrical, home-made arch transforms the space, hiding the bins and shed. Combined with the tiled floor, they form a dramatic backdrop to the colourful planting. Discover more from John's garden on YouTube.

John has won Third Prize, a holiday to Tuscany for two worth £2,500, courtesy of Flight Centre.

What a wonderful piece of theatre - the hard work that's gone into this small space is astonishing.
