If you live near Osterley Tube and your only growing space is a balcony, you already know the challenge: a few square metres, changing wind, awkward light, and not much room for error.

If you live on or near Great West Road and manage one of the classic terraces in TW7, you already know the front garden can make the whole property feel either cared for or quietly neglected.

In today's world, creating your own peaceful refuge at home has never been more important.
