Every garden is rigorously judged by experts drawn from the fields of horticulture and design around the world. Judging takes place on Tuesday afternoon the day before the Show opens to the public.
Garden creators are required to submit a Statement of Intent for their display garden. Gardens are not judged against each other, rather they are judged on how well the garden achieved its Statement of Intent. Four levels of medals are given - Gold, Silver, Bronze or Crystal. In addition to these medals the following awards are distributed.
