The competition recognises the following categories: back garden, front garden, indoor garden, kids' corner garden.

People enter the competition by heading to The One Show website and submitting one current picture of their garden in one of the four categories, along with 250 words on how the garden is helping them at the moment.
The competition opens at 7pm Friday 1 May 2020 and closes on midnight 18 May 2020. Under 18s need to ask a parent or guardian to enter on their behalf.
Alex Jones said “From window boxes and balconies to the more traditional outside space, I can’t wait to hear how growing and planting has been helping people get through this extraordinary time and am excited to see the results of everyone’s creative efforts.”
Virtual RHS Chelsea Flower Show runs from 18 to 23 May and will feature a host of coverage from across the horticultural and gardening world. Sign up to Gardens Illustrated's email daily digest of Virtual Chelsea Flower Show coverage here.
