International Garden Photographer of the Year 2012

See the stunning winning and finalist images from one of the most prestigious international photography competitions when they are unveiled on 3 March at Kew Gardens. The display showcases the best garden, nature and outdoor photography from around the world.

The collection offers you an amazing and inspiring insight into the wonders of plants, gardens, landscapes and nature, and our relationship with them. From magnificent and magical flowers in ‘The Beauty of Plants’, secret and fascinating creatures in ‘Wildlife Havens’, breathtaking and delightful views in ‘Beautiful Gardens’, incredible and interesting urban life captured in ‘Greening the City’, to a celebration of enjoyable outdoor places in ‘Breathing Spaces’ (sponsored by the National Trust).

This spectacular exhibition will be located indoors at Kew Gardens for the first time, in the beautiful Nash Conservatory. The Nash Conservatory is the oldest 19 century glasshouse within the gardens and provides a wonderfully unique spacious setting for the International Garden Photographer of the Year display.
