One lucky TV viewer will have the chance to have their garden design recreated at the UK’s largest gardening event this year. The RHS and BBC’s The One Show have joined forces once more to launch a competition to design a garden for Britain’s Great Garden Festival, RHS Hampton Court Palace Flower Show (8-13 July 2014).
The competition challenges amateur gardeners and aspiring garden designers across the country to create a design for a 12m by 12m garden, which celebrates where they live. Entrants will need to think of ways to reflect their community’s heritage, buildings, foods, people or plants or other aspects of their local life. Judges will be looking for originality and good use of plants.
The closing date for entries is midday on March 24 2014. Judges will select the three most promising amateur designers, who will then compete against each other for the grand prize – an opportunity to work with professional mentors to create their garden in time for the RHS Hampton Court Palace Flower Show in July.
The two mentors are The One Show gardener Christine Walkden and RHS Chelsea Flower Show Gold medal-winning designer Adam Frost. In the final weeks of build-up, Christine and Adam will be on hand to help the winner create their show garden.
Full details of the terms and conditions and the entry form are available on The One Show website.
