The following are submissions to the GNS Garden Challenge. The Garden Challenge invites members to take up the challenge of sharing their garden observations of wildlife. There are no ‘rules’ on what form submissions can take – it could be a formal species list, a diary of observations, a painting, drawing, poem, creative writing, photographs, an account of a memorable sighting, or indeed anything else!
Although this is not a competition, we want to recognise the efforts made by entrants by awarding an annual prize to the entrant we feel has made the most inspirational contribution each year. Further information on how to take part.
