The 2008 Gardening Calendar Competition
The winning photographs will appear on a Gardening Calendar for 2008. Copies will be distributed with
Gardens Monthly magazine at the end of this year and the shortlisted who have sent in profiles about themselves will be published in member profiles on site and possibly appear in a future issue of Gardens Monthly.
The standard has been high and there's been some excellent images, which stand out for their subject matter, composition, angle taken, technical skill and colour. The shortlisted photos do, of course, also reflect the four seasons particularly well:
Spring (March, April, May)
Summer (June, July, August)
Autumn (September, October, November)
Winter (December, January, February)
