Thank you to those who entered the 2022 Garden For Wildlife Photo Contest! Our fifth annual photo contest attracted more than 7,200 photos submitted in five categories from some 1,000 photographers sharing their love of nature—from city patios to rural meadows. “We appreciate all these photographers for the quality and abundance of photos that highlight spaces where wildlife and people thrive,” says Mary Phillips, Head of Garden for Wildlife™. We hope you’ll enjoy this year's memorable winners.
The Garden for Wildlife™ Photo Contest seeks to illustrate the faces of Garden for Wildlife through striking, colorful images showcasing the impact of habitat gardens on wildlife and people–in urban, suburban, and rural settings, and on land, in the air, and in water.
