Proving that the garden makeover concept can be as strong on the
computer screen as it already is in the television schedules, the new

better, a sketch pad if you're artistic, give the most flexibility and
allow you to work on it onsite." Others agreed. "You are much better off
with some squared paper and a pencil, it's quicker and you can get a
better idea of what you're doing," wrote "Pete the Gardener" in March
