Cambridge University Botanic Garden is delighted to host the prestigious International Garden Photographer of the Year (IGPOTY) exhibition.

The exhibition will feature the very best botanical photography from across the world, celebrating the beauty and importance of plant life in its many diverse forms.

Visitors can expect to see thought-provoking and challenging images which seek to bring people closer to plants and gardens, increase public understanding of the natural world and champion photography as a mode of conservation.

From the beauty of sunrise in the delicate ecosystem of the Brazilian cerrado to the misty morning light of the quintessential English garden of Great Dixter Gardens, the exhibition will take visitors on an inspirational journey through sights both familiar and unknown.
