IGPOTY On Show

This year's International Garden Photographer of the Year (IGPOTY) competition attracted about 18,000 entries from all over the world. How anyone can choose winners in various categories, let alone an overall winner, is beyond me. There are so many stunning entries vying for attention. Mark Gray's Mystic Forest, showing a rocky stream shimmering between distinctive trees, is one that caught my imagination. The exhibition is at Kew Gardens in the Nash Conservatory until 6 April (CLICK). Admission is included in the price of a day ticket at £15 (£1 off for silver surfers!).
