Gardens Illustrated has been shortlisted for three Garden Media Guild Awards for 2022: Garden Publication of the Year, Website of the Year and Cover of the Year.
The annual awards are held in recognition of the talent in the gardening media industry, with the winners to be announced in a ceremony on 25 November.
The awards are open to everyone who generates or publishes gardening content, with categories covering all areas of the garden media, garden books, books and magazines, websites and social media.
Our regular columnist, Benjamin Pope, has been shortlisted in one of the two book categories for What to Sow, Grow and Do, alongside Charles Dowding for No Dig and Iain Parkinson for Meadow and Marian Boswall for Sustainable Garden.
Regular Gardens Illustrated photographers Jason Ingram, Richard Bloom, Clive Nichols and Annaick Guitteny have all been nominated in the photography categories.
