A thrifty gran has revealed how she transformed her overgrown "jungle" garden into a dream outdoor space on a budget - and saved herself more than £5,000.
Savvy Karen Brooke, 67, created her stunning garden oasis by upcycling materials as well as scouring selling sites and social media for bargains.
The retired PE teacher bought her three-bed bungalow in the aptly-named Forest Avenue, in Goostrey, Cheshire, for £267,000 two years ago.
But instead of being fazed by its abandoned garden, Karen broke up the soil with a tiller she bought from Aldi and began to transform the plot over the next year.
