CHARITY GARDEN BY DEAN HERALD
We've seen Dean Herald building show gardens for Chelsea and MIFGS, but this one's going to be bigger than anything you've seen before! This is one of the largest charity gardens in Australia, and Better Homes will take viewers behind the scenes to follow Dean's progress. No expense has been spared - the formal landscape will unfold around a geometric series of water gardens - with a stunning sculpture at its centre. A 57 column arbor will border one half of the garden, whilst a Juliet balcony will dominate the other half, what's more, the pavers are being hand cut in Egypt.

BAKED PASTA WITH MINCE
Karen cooks Pasticcio of farfalle, or baked pasta with mince - a delicious meal that's the definition of comfort food. It's tasty, hearty, and best of all you can freeze then reheat it for a delicious meal when you don't feel like cooking.

HONEY KING PRAWNS WITH CRISPY NOODLES
Honey King Prawns is a Chinese classic that's become an all time Aussie favourite! But why go to a restaurant? At four minutes to prep and four minutes to cook, it's quicker than going to the local takeaway! Being a traditional Shanghai dish, like most food from that city it's a little sweet. But it's also delicious and very more-ish!

BILLABONG BUGS INFO
Billabong Bugs or shield shrimps are an unusual and interesting pet for the budding David Attenborough in your family! They are bizarre-looking crustaceans that live in the deserts of central Australia, in temporary ponds. When the pond dries out, the shield shrimp dies but its eggs wait for the next rain to fill the pond again. The eggs are very hardy and can last in the desert dust for many years.

WATER OBSESSED DOG HOUSE CALL
Dr Harry is off to meet Jacqui and her Jack Russell terrier 'Snoopy.' We've seen Harry deal with many different Pet obsessions, and this time it's water - the mere sight of it! Snoopy will spend hours staring at water in her bowl, in buckets, in wading pools, even puddles. Toys won't distract her, and she'll get her paws wet if she can! It's not life-threatening, but surely Harry can get this pup interested in other things as well! Let's see how he goes.
