GARDEN RESCUE:   It’s a challenging week for TLR’s garden go to girl, Lilly with this week’s concrete backyard conversion. New parents, Sarah and Greg are asking a lot of this small space and green thumb Greg’s attempt at a potted garden has only added fuel to Sarah’s dissatisfaction of this small space. It’s time for Lilly to call in Dylan and his boys and turn this concrete pit into an oasis where they can entertain, garden and amuse their young son 18 month old Jona. Will Lilly’s choice of astro turf get the tick of approval from Sarah? And can they achieve all of Sarah & Greg’s wish list in such a small space?
