The Sunday evening show will be a one-hour launch programme starting at 6pm with Sophie Raworth and Joe Swift. The duo will be taking an exclusive first look at the gardens and exhibits set to make headlines.

This year’s TV schedule will bring daily up-to-date action from the showground, focussing on the Garden Designers and Great Pavilion Exhibitors, with in depth analysis and take-home advice from our team of expert presenters including Carol Klein, Rachel de Thame, Arit Anderson, Adam Frost, Mark Lane, Toby Buckland, James Wong, Nick Bailey and Frances Tophill.

At 8pm Monty Don and Joe Swift will kick off the BBC Two coverage and meet the VIP guests, with Chelsea’s team of experts reviewing the show stopping gardens and stand out floral exhibits. There will also be a chance for viewers to get involved from home with the ‘Ask Monty and Joe’ section, where audiences will get to ask them any question relating to the show.

Multi award-winning designer Adam Frost will be joining them each night to translate the exceptional into the accessible. He’ll be revealing the secrets of planting the designer way to help viewers create some Chelsea magic at home.

On Wednesday at 7pm Sophie and Joe return to launch this year’s BBC RHS People’s Choice award as they run down the 13 large show gardens in contention for our annual public vote. On Friday evening at 7.30pm Sophie and Joe will be back to announce the winner.
