In pictures: Inside the town centre garden oasis

A couple have transformed their suburban terraced house garden into a rainforest-inspired space.

Joe Pemberton and Linda Aradi said their garden in Delapre, Northampton, was inspired by their travels in Colombia.

The green oasis featured on an episode of BBC Two's Gardener's World and presenter Adam Frost said the pair took water gardening to "another level".

These pictures show how the couple transformed their garden with banana trees, eucalyptus, bamboo and several water features.
