BBC Two has commissioned a new gardening competition show.
The Great Chelsea Garden Challenge will see budding garden designers compete to have their creations feature in this year's Rhs Chelsea Flower Show.
The six designers will have four days to build gardens to several different briefs. They will be mentored by Gardeners' World contributor Joe Swift.
Rhs judge James Alexander Sinclair and gold medal winning garden designer Ann-Marie Powell will be judging the competition.
The designers will be judged on how well they have interpreted the idea, their horticultural knowledge, design skill and the sense of theatre their garden brings.
The winner will get to design and build a garden feature on Main Avenue at the Rhs Chelsea Flower Show 2015.
The six designers chosen from hundreds of entries are: Gillian Potts, Jo Manfredi-Hamer, Paul Harris, Rob Dawson, Sean Murray and Steph Humes.

Alan Titchmarsh has stepped down as host of the BBC's Chelsea Flower Show coverage.
The TV presenter will not be part of the annual event, after 30 years as its main host.
