More4 Commissions Garden Competition Series

IWC, a Banijay UK company, has been commissioned to produce the six-part series Garden of the Year for More4.

In the series, presenter and gardener Zoe Ball, award-winning garden designer Manoj Malde and former Young Horticulturalist of the Year Lachlan Rae will travel the U.K. to judge the most spectacular home gardens. The winning gardens from each episode will go head-to-head in the grand finale.

“It’s a joy to be able to spend a summer in some of the most wonderful gardens in the country,” Ball said. “The level of creativity and flair on show is incredible, and it’s inspirational to see how our contenders have made their outdoor spaces into beautiful, relaxing havens. I think this will be a treat for any viewer, whether they are looking for ideas themselves or just enjoy a peek at gorgeous gardens.”

“During the past two years, outdoor space has never been so important,” noted Gerard Costello, executive producer for IWC. “This series will be a celebration of the love, dedication and hard work that has gone into making these gardens some of the very best the country has to offer. It’s a pleasure to be invited in to see these spectacular creations.”

Jo Street, head of daytime and features at Channel 4, added, “What a treat for More4 viewers getting to snoop around some of the nation’s most glorious gardens, without having to leave the comfort of home! Let’s hope the sun shines during filming!”
