The Veggie Garden

People in my Garden
Green, growing things make wonderful photo subjects; they generally hold a pose and don’t blink at the wrong times. But there’s more going on in that garden… you! Or your family, or your neighbor, or – well, you get the idea. Share with us your best photos of human interaction in the garden; the possibilities are bounteous!

Along the Garden Path
The borders framing your garden are given star billing in this category. Focus on a mass of color or pull back the lens and capture the artistry of the whole garden. Whether your garden landscape is an intimate nook or a rolling hillside, show us how the plants in a border enhance the beds and delight the senses.

Flowers and Pollinators
Up close and personal is the focus of this category. Every blossom has a unique beauty that shines forth if the lighting is right and the camera is at hand. And where would our gardens be without pollinators? It’s the story of the birds and the bees, told in your close-up photos of flowers, insects and more.

Creatively Recycled Garden Ornaments
It is surprising what elements can be used to add structure and whimsy and beauty to all this lush growing stuff. In this category, we are especially interested in images of recycled items that have found new life and artful repurposing in the garden.
