The judges are; One Show presenter Alex Jones, writer and broadcaster Monty Don, RHS Head of Judging at RHS Shows, James Alexander Sinclair, author and small gardens expert Isabelle Palmer, and Head of the One Show Rob Unsworth.
One winner from each category and the ‘best in show’ will receive four public day tickets for RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2021* and a special RHS Award commending their Garden.
*Terms and conditions apply. Value of 4 X 2021 RHS Chelsea Flower Show public tickets approx. £280 plus £400 towards travel. Accommodation not included.
