Join the Panel
Our judging panel is made up of plant enthusiasts, professional gardeners, and horticulture experts from across the region — not a marketing gimmick, real people who love this stuff. If that's you, we'd love your help.
Garden center staff, landscape designers, master gardeners, horticulture students, and serious hobbyists with a good eye for a well-loved space.
Reviewing a set of entries in your category, scoring them against our published criteria, and submitting feedback — roughly 2–3 hours during the judging window.
All judging happens remotely, on your own schedule, within a set window before winners are announced.
Judges are credited by name (and business, if applicable) on the Site and in our winner announcement.
