Gardeners wanted for TV show

WANTED

5 Amateur gardeners for New RTE Gardening Show.

Are you passionate about gardening? Is it your secret ambition to be
a garden designer? Do you dream of winning a Gold Medal at Chelsea?

Vision Independant Productions, the company that brought you 'I WANT
A GARDEN', SHOWHOUSE', 'OPERATION TRANSFORMATION', and 'THE
RESTAURANT' is making a new series to be broadcast in june. They are
looking for amateur gardeners to take part in this television
competition. A passion for gardening is a must, as is creative flair!

Five amateurs will be chosen to take part in the show,by a panel of
gardening experts. Each finalist will be allocated a real garden to
design and must liaise with the client, the owner of the garden, to
come up with a mutually acceptable design. Each finalist will have a
budget of 10,000 euro and will design and build their garden during
the months of April and May-and therefore must be available for
filming during this time.

Designers can enlist the help of friends and family to complete their
task- such as building the perimeters,installing any structures,
creating water features and of course planting the garden-but they
must be amateurs, no professional gardeners or landscapers are
permitted to assist.

After six weeks, each garden will be visited by our panel of experts.
They will assess each design and give their opinions. But the judges
don't choose the winner. On the sixth and final show, we will revisit
all five gardens and recap on what the judges had to say. Then the
designers and their gardens will go up for a public vote and the
viewing audience will decide who wins the accolade of Top Designer and
a gardening prize to the value of 20,000 euro.

If you are a passionate amateur gardener or recent graduate of garden
design and would like to enter this competition. Contact us by email
or phone for further details.
