Vote for your favourite RHS ‘Partner Garden of the Year’ Award and you too could be a winner… of a £100 RHS Garden gift voucher.

The RHS (Royal Horticultural Society) is inviting garden visitors to vote for their favourite RHS Partner Garden ‘Garden of the Year’. Votes can be cast up until 12 noon on Monday, September29 via the RHS website.

RHS Director of Gardens and Horticulture Dr Tim Upson said: “We’re delighted to be running the RHS Partner Garden of the Year competition once again. Gardens have a unique way of uplifting us, and the gardens in our scheme are truly special, each offering a unique experience for visitors. Now is your chance to ensure your favourite garden gets the recognition it deserves – cast your vote and help celebrate the joy and beauty of these incredible spaces."

There are currently 231 gardens in the RHS Partner Gardens scheme, including Carmarthenshire’s Aberglasney Gardens, Upton Castle Gardens at Cosheston near Pembroke Dock and Picton Castle near Haverfordwest. Fifteen new gardens have joined in 2025, which RHS Members can visit free of charge at selected times of the year. RHS Partner Gardens comprise some of the most famous gardens in the world as well as privately-owned hidden gems, including organic gardens designed with nature in mind to kitchen gardens, private gardens with beautiful design and heritage landscapes with manicured topiary. Beyond the UK, RHS Partner Gardens can be found in eight countries, including Barbados, Japan and South Africa.

Aberglasney Gardens’ Director Helen Scutt said: “We know our visitors and members already appreciate a visit to Aberglasney brings them joy, but it would be fantastic to win this prestigious title of ‘RHS Partner Garden of the Year’. We hope we can rely on everyone to vote for us as their favourite RHS Partner Garden.”

All voters will be entered into a prize draw to win a £100 RHS Garden gift voucher. The garden winners will be revealed in December and will receive a special plaque to display at their garden as well as a professional photoshoot of their garden (UK gardens only).

Aberglasney is open throughout the year. It was made famous by the BBC television series “A Garden Lost in Time” which followed its restoration, and has been described as one of Wales’ finest gardens. Visitors can explore 10 acres of over 20 different garden styles from formal to woodland, right through to sub-tropical and modern. Exhibitions and events are held regularly in the fully restored ground floor of Aberglasney’s grade II* listed mansion. There is also a gift shop and tea rooms.
