Now that Mary Berry has left and Mel and Sue have been replaced, I know I’m going to need a new addictive, yet soothing British competition show. The Great Chelsea Garden Challenge definitely scratches that itch, pitting green thumbed hobbyists against each other to win a spot at the “Olympics of gardening,” the Royal Horticultural Society’s Chelsea Flower Show. The event has been attended by the Queen, and like many things for society’s upper echelon, it is super exclusive and competitive to show your work there.

The first season of Garden Challenge has six amateurs competing over four episodes to snag that elusive spot at Chelsea, with different stunning gardening challenges to ogle each episode.

You can watch the Great Chelsea Garden Challenge on BritBox, the streaming service devoted to UK TV, starting May 1. But that’s not the only program for plant people. Here are a few more titles coming to the platform next month:
