Andrew Mccoy After months of anticipation, The Big Flower Fight has finally landed on Netflix on Monday, May 18th.
Like the floral answer to The Great British Bake Off, this series sees ten teams of floral designers – amateurs and professionals – compete for a money-can’t-buy prize.
Instead of a huge lump sum, they are offered the chance to have their work installed in the Royal Botanic Garden at Kew.
The show is headed up by British comedians Vic Reeves and Natasia Demetriou, who are bound to bring much-needed laughter and light to the madness of the design series. But who are the judges on The Big Flower Fight? Find out about the respected industry pros here.
