RESULTS: Garden Photo Competition

Thank you so much to everyone who entered our Garden Photo Competition. We loved seeing all the entries come in. You can see them all on our ready made Pinterest board here or go to the competition page on Facebook here.

A reminder of the prizes; first prize is a signed copy of Laetitia Maklouf’s brilliant book, Sweet Peas for Summer: How to Create a Garden in a Year and our absoluteley gorgeous Pearl & Gold Plated Three Peas in a Pod Necklace. Two runners up will also each receive a signed copy of Laetitia’s book.

We sent all the photos to Laetitia to judge. Her choices for first place and for two runners up are as follows…

First is Jan Beal – Gorgeous high-summer madness, featuring rudbeckia, helenium, verbena bonariensis and agapanthus. I totally love it.

Runners up:

Rose Tabberer – Cosmos are always photogenic, but particularly here. Beautiful photo and an impressive patch of these lovely flowers.

Wendy Taylor – PINK! I absolutely adore this. Different shades of the same colour having a party outside her front door. Well done!
