Entries were judges by social media influencer Emma Mitchell and garden photographer Richard Bloom alongside Chris Young, editor of RHS magazine The Garden.
Young said: "At a time when so many of us are staying at home due to Covid-19, these photographs give a much-needed connection to the outside world. For me they are a real visual tonic, a boost to help with our personal health and wellbeing, and a positive reminder of the wonderful world that lies outside our doors."
