Now in its 10th year, International Garden Photographer of the Year was started by a group of professional garden photographers and has quickly grown to become the world’s premier exhibition of garden and plant photography.

Founder Philip Smith said: “Garden photography is an emerging genre. Using a garden as an outdoor studio, all photographers of any age and at any skill level can develop their artistic life.

“Garden photography encompasses many aspects of other types of image-making - you can create mini-landscapes, stalk and photograph all kinds of wildlife , or you can make your flowers look like Hollywood starlets.”

Entry to the exhibition is free.
