Enter your garden into The Garden Show
Our Garden Show is a celebration of home gardens from across the UK. Whether you’re a beginner, amateur or professional we can’t wait to see your entries! And if you don’t have a garden, feel free to submit window boxes, hanging baskets and containers.
Please note: Owing to a high number of entrants, we are sadly unable to feature everyone in our show and are not able to respond to unsuccessful entrants. For those who are successful, we will get in contact with you to let you know so stay tuned!
Please email us at hello@thegreatbritishgardenshow.com if there are any issues with the entry form.
The Great British Garden Show is currently closed. We hope to start this project up again in the future and will keep this website open as a Showcase from the 2020 lockdown project. Until then, keep gardening!

Photography Guide: Hints & Tips
If you're not confident with a camera or camera phone, you could ask someone who is to take the picture for you, or we’ve put together some handy tips below to help you out.
Large, clear photos.
Please make sure the picture is as large, clear and well-lit as possible.
No collages.
We want to be able to see your garden in all its glory. Therefore, please avoid sending collages which reduce picture quality.
Light is everything.
If possible, please make sure the images are well-lit and not taken too far into the evening. Dark pictures often come out grainy and fuzzy, so it won’t show your garden off at its best!
Equally, too much direct sun can ruin a photo so best to take photos after sunrise and in the few hours before sunset. Bonus points for that gorgeous sunset golden glow!
Get creative.
To really show off your garden, try taking photos from different angles and distances. Try the whole garden, or get up close to individual plants. Get creative!
