The Great Gardening Challenge

The country’s best and most interesting garden designers battle it out to create the most unique and original public gardens in a 48-hour deadline and on a budget.

Prepare for an exciting and emotional prime-time competition in the least expected place of them all — the garden.

The Great Gardening Challenge has pairs of professional garden designers battling it out for the title of “The Best Gardeners”, whether they are well-known, award-winning designers or the next generation of talent who will shape gardens and public spaces for decades to come. What will triumph — experience or daring new ideas?

Over the course of six episodes, the teams go head to head in a variety of challenges and are assigned an identical space, a limited budget, and a 48-hour time limit. The game begins.

The competitors have 48 hours to transform once-neglected spaces into awe-striking gardens for those who need them most. Toward the end of every episode, there is an emotional reveal where the transformed spaces are presented to the people who will be using them.

At the end of each episode, a pair of expert judges visit the transformed gardens and award every team points based on the judging criteria to determine who will advance and ultimately be crowned “The Best Gardeners”.
