On the 2nd February 2024, I was delighted to recieve the news that my creative floral image – titled, Dance of the Cosmos was awarded Commended in the Beauty of Plants section of the International Garden Photographer of the Year, Competition 17 and included within the IGPOTY 17 book. I also had another floral image – titled, Nigella Dreams which was shortlisted.

I have always had a love of creative floral and plant photography and I was particularly pleased to recieve this award, as the Cosmos flowers were grown from seed in the garden. Congratulations to all who recieved awards.
