Clipped

Seven talented topiary artists immediately begin to demonstrate their skills by carving a work of art out of a yew tree. Then it's off to the main challenge where they create fantastic carousel horses, and the first artist is clipped from the competition.

In their first team challenge, the topiary artists pair up to create beautifully designed living rooms with functional furniture out of grass and plants. The teams must combine their individual visions as they race to make furniture worthy of HGTV.

The artists create huge topiary statues worthy of standing at the entrance to an exhibit at a natural history museum. Competitors have ten hours to complete eye-popping dinosaurs, mammoths and more, taking advantage of all the materials in the nursery.

Using an assigned color, the artists show off their abilities to create playful characters as they design a topiary display for a mini-golf course. Not only should their creations be visually exciting, they must be engineered to be working obstacles.

It's the semi-finals, and our judges expect the remaining artists to up their game by making a human sculpture appear as if it's in motion. Each of the artists model their poses for each other as they design, build and green these living works of art.

There's $50,000 at stake as the finalists face off in the ultimate challenge -- creating an immersive garden experience that shows their creative vision. Special guests help them shape their gardens and futures in a race to determine the Clipped Champion.

Host Michael Urie shares highlights of the competition and gives viewers an inside look at how the Clipped challenges were produced. He also peeks behind the scenes with bloopers and outtakes from the full cast, including the legendary Martha Stewart!
