Calendar Photo Competition

Fancy yourself as the next David Bailey? We’re on the look out for stunning photographs of our Gardens and Glasshouses for our 2016 calendar!

If you’re a budding photographer or just a little snap-happy, enter our competition and your photographs could be featured in our calendar that will be available to buy in the Botanical Garden’s shop.

The competition for each month will launch on the 1st and close at 12pm on the last day of the month. You are allowed three entries each month, so remember to triple your chance of winning if you’ve got too many to choose from.
