GARDEN PHOTOGRAPHY COMPETITION

Budding photographers are being invited to enter a competition to find the best pictures of plants on show at The Birmingham Botanical Gardens.


The annual photographic competition, held in conjunction with The Birmingham Post, is looking for people to come along and take the best snaps of the exotic plants and Victorian architecture on display at the Gardens.

Plants and nature; views and architecture; and juniors aged five-16 are the three categories of the competition and all entries must have been taken in or around the gardens.

Linda Keen, at the gardens said "the aim is to attract more people who might be interested in photography to come along to the gardens. We have a very photogenic establishment, and we have been running this competition for many years now. In the glass houses we have plants from all over the world, and outside we have all the different gardens."


For more information, or an entry form to take part in the competition, telephone 0121 454 1860 or pick one up from the reception at the Gardens on Westbourne Road, Edgbaston
