Synopsis
Annual gardening competition (as if you couldn't guess). The contestants are tested on their knowledge and technique, and have to create a show garden (changed to a domestic garden in 2005, and an RHS-standard border in 2007) in a limited time. 2009 saw the competition broadcast as part of Gardeners' World, with a viewers' phone vote accounting for 50% of the final scores.
