Earlier this summer, I talked about the fantastic Plot-on-a-Plate initiative by the Chelsea Physic Garden! This competition was the perfect opportunity for crafty adults and kids to get involved in a gardening activity during lockdown, and it proved very popular, with over 170 entries!

Earlier this month, the lucky winners were were chosen by the contest judges:

  • Rosemary Alexander, one ofc the UK’s most influential garden designers and principal of The English Gardening School.
  • (Me!) Michael Perry aka Mr Plant Geek, TV/radio presenter and long-time miniature gardener.
  • Nell Jones, Head of Plant Collections at Chelsea Physic Garden.

The winners

The winners exhibited great creativity in their entries! We saw some fantastic re-purposing of plants and other natural objects, as well as ornaments and figurines. Here are the winners…

  • These are very creative and very pretty. It must have been a hard competition for the judges to pick winners.

    Well done everyone!
