The competition starts at RHS Harlow Carr in Harrogate, where the designers are given four days, a 3x4m plot and a limited budget to create a show garden in the Cottage Garden style - a mini Chelsea. They are sent to a local wholesale nursery to source their plants and are helped and mentored throughout the process by Joe, who won a gold medal at Chelsea in 2012.

The five remaining designers are sent to the impressive Sudeley Castle in Gloucestershire, where they have to create formal gardens on a 4x4m plot. They have just four days to complete their garden and being a formal garden, they have to include a piece of topiary - a two metre-high yew hedge that they have shaped themselves.

The three finalists go to the RHS Headquarters in Wisley where they have five days and their biggest budget yet to create a show garden that will prove they are a worthy of winning the biggest prize in gardening - to design a garden on the Main Avenue at this year’s RHS Chelsea Flower Show.
