The thing is that neither of them has professional gardening credentials tho Joe, having studied art, did become a landscaper before going on to study garden design at The English Gardening School. His style is modern and he's good on design but I wouldn't trust him with actual plant care.
Monty's background is English Lit at Cambridge followed by working with his wife who designed costume jewelry. When that failed they retreated to Longmeadow where the garden became his therapy and he started to earn a living writing about his garden. I just can't see Monty letting himself in for all the stress and strain of designing anything for a garden show and certainly not for judging.
