ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY
Nine new gardens have joined the scheme this year , including Riverhill Himalayan Garden in Kent , Natural Surroundings in Norfolk and La Mortella in Naples .
Votes can be cast via the RHS website rhs . org . uk / pgoty . Voting is open from 10am on Wednesday 10 April until midday on 27 September , 2024 .
Many of the RHS Partner Gardens will also be displaying the link to vote in their gardens , on social
media and on garden websites , so it will be easy for visitors to cast their vote for their favourite garden and leave a comment to say what the garden means to them .
Visitors can choose their favourite gardens in each of six regions : Midlands and East Anglia ; North and Northern Ireland ; Overseas ; Scotland ; South East and Channel Islands ; and South West and Wales .
As before , the gardens will be ranked according to the number of
votes they have received relative to their total visitor numbers for the previous year with the comments they ’ ve received from voters to determine the winner for each region and the overall winner .
The winners , who will be revealed in December , will receive a special plaque to display at their property as well as a professional photoshoot of their garden . Gardens that have won in the past two years will be excluded from this year ’ s competition .

RHS Partner Garden Manager Helen Feary said : “ We ’ re delighted to be running the RHS Partner Garden of the Year competition again in 2024 . Visiting a garden brings so much joy to so many people and it ’ s wonderful to be able to give people the chance to vote for their favourite ‘ feel good ’ garden from among the 220 RHS Partner Gardens . The heart-warming comments show us how much these gardens mean to their visitors .”
