International Garden Photographer of the Year

IGPOTY – International Garden Photographer of the Year – has joined forces with Thompson & Morgan to launch a new special award called ‘Joy of Gardening’.

Any photograph of any T&M plant, whether grown from seed or bought as a plant, at any stage of growth, can be entered for the award. Each entry costs £10, and the closing date is October 31. The IGPOTY judges will be looking for inspirational photographs that convey the joy of growing and encourage others to get involved in gardening.

The winner will receive an all-expenses-paid photography trip to the Keukenhof Gardens in Holland with IGPOTY managing director Tyrone McGlinchey, and £250 of T&M vouchers, while the second- and third-placed entrants will get photography trips to RHS Hyde Hall and £100 and £50 in vouchers.
