The judges view the contenders from the south of England: a converted barn set in its own meadow, a Mediterranean-style garden, a four-level city garden and a garden that creates a room for any mood.

The judges assess the shortlisted gardens from Wales and the west of England: a garden filled with different areas, a secret garden made into a natural wonder, a classic English garden and an exotic garden with everything from cacti to banana trees.

The judges size up the contenders from central England and the Midlands: a vision of rural English perfection, a garden built around its own natural pool, an allotment made into a thing of beauty and a woodland journey in suburbia.

The judges tour the contenders from the north of England: a garden with a series of outdoor rooms, a garden on an old quarry site, an urban tropical wonderland and a garden with ornate topiary.

The judges explore the shortlist of gardens from Scotland and Northern Ireland: a garden more than 30 years in the making, a sustainable three-level garden, a multi-terraced oasis of calm and a garden making the most of recycled materials.

Judges Zoe Ball, Manoj Malde and Lachlan Rae make their decision and pick the garden of the year, having travelled all over the UK, visiting gardens that have been submitted as contenders.
