2016
Steve Moodey, Abingdon, Oxfordshire
Winner – Small space category
View Gallery on the source website
Taking advantage of microclimates within his south-facing plot, Steve transformed a small, overlooked, clutter-filled garden into a tropical hideaway using dense structural evergreen foliage for privacy and to add to the tropical feel, and some tall exotic plants for scale and drama. A curved path through the various vistas also added movement and a sense of journey.
Magda D’Ingeo, Reigate, Surrey
Winner – Family Plots
View Gallery on the source website
The arrival of Magda’s daughter made her see her new build through fresh eyes, inspiring the creation of a natural playground that would entice her family outdoors, stimulate the senses and share her love of plants. Areas for play included a scented bower and rope swing, a vine-covered treehouse, and multi-tasking features such as decking and a sandpit doubling as a coffee table.
Pam Woodall, Poole, Dorset
Winner – Wildlife Gardens
View Gallery on the source website
Opening up what appeared to be an impenetrable jungle of brambles and fallen trees, Pam then multiplied useful plants by seed and division to create a lushly vegetated garden. Adding a pond, vibrant flowers, log-edged paths for a woodland feel and keeping mature trees, the space then attracted a host of wildlife, including birds, amphibians, insects, squirrels, badgers and deer.
2017
Caroline Cassell, Waltham Abbey, Essex
Winner – Small Space and Judge’s Choice
View Gallery on the source website
Dividing a traditional cottage garden into a series of rooms, Caroline was able to add multiple spaces in which to enjoy the romantic and exuberantly planted borders, including a circular dining area and lawn, and a patio and deck placed to catch the afternoon sun. Climbers such as fragrant honeysuckle, small trees and box balls helped to blur boundaries, draw the eye upwards and add structure.
Helen Rushton, Inverurie, Aberdeenshire
Winner – Wildlife Friendly
View Gallery on the source website
What started as a derelict croft and rough farmland slowly evolved into a bucolic, biodiverse haven for wildlife with sweeping meadows, native shrubs and hedging, three ponds, and dozens of boxes for bats and nesting birds. The compost heap attracts pygmy shrews while roe deer roam among the wildflowers. The whole garden teems with bees, butterflies and invertebrates.
Caroline Critchlow, Mainland, Orkney
Winner – Challenging Plot
View Gallery on the source website
Battling with storm-force winds, Caroline and husband Kevin transformed their derelict plot using stone walls to create pockets of shelter, raised beds with staked plants and mesh-centred windbreaks, charming sculptures and a spectacular linear pond. The setting’s fantastic view of the Scapa Flow inspired a colour palette of resilient plants that would reflect the sea, with the design drawing the eye to what lies beyond.
2018
Wayne Amiel, South London
Winner – Judge’s Choice
View Gallery on the source website
Wayne took his narrow, north-facing site, full of builder’s rubber and on a different level to the ground-floor of the house and turned it into a little slice of his Jamaican childhood. The whole thing was done on a shoestring budget, using bold exotic foliage for a jungle feel, an intimate seating area of painted chairs, pots of vibrant blooms, and small trees and obelisks of climbers for height and shelter.
Richard Small, Tyne and Wear
Winner – People’s Choice
View Gallery on the source website
Visualising his small concrete yard as a plant-filled oasis, Richard painstakingly assembled a calming vista of containerised evergreens and a restrained palette of all-white flowers, including alliums, foxgloves, lobelia and lupins. Terracotta-coloured tiles and gravel were also employed to create a link to the house, with lighting bringing the garden to life in the evenings.
2019
Frank Bowdler, Wigan
Winner – Judge’s Choice
View Gallery on the source website
Frank’s garden was originally dominated by a long side lawn with leylandii hedging and patches of sparse planting. Over several decades, he filled it with hundreds of plant species, clever topiary, an old well covered with clematis, and meandering paths through the packed borders. A circular brick patio provided a focal point at which to stop and enjoy the abundance.
Annette Eales, Hampshire
Winner – People’s Choice
View Gallery on the source website
This lawn-to-cottage garden project was as much about gardening as therapy as it was about creating a peaceful sanctuary for Annette and her family. The immersive and artistic space included a potting shed, pathways and pergolas, pollinator-friendly plants and wildflowers that complemented the meadow view beyond, a sheltered seating area and repurposed furniture serving as pots.
2020
Elizabeth and Malcolm Schofield, Buckie, Moray
Winner – Judge’s Choice and People’s Choice
View Gallery on the source website
Given the task of turning a steep hill above a public footpath on the north-east coast of Moray, Lizzie, Malcolm and their daughters created a flower-filled paradise for all to admire, combining tropical planting and a gravel-pathed coastal aesthetic. Small, raised beds were added for growing vegetables, wildflowers sown on the bank, and the kids took full advantage of the slope via a built-in slide.
2021
Thomas Jose, South Yorkshire
Winner – People’s Choice
View Gallery on the source website
After developing a series of hidden shelves on which to show off his beloved collection of Japanese maples, Thomas then crammed every space with plants for year-round interest, but also to enhance the colourful autumn display provided by the acers. Many of the plants are in pots, so an extensive but sustainable irrigation system was needed to keep the garden at its best.
Nadine Mitschunas, Oxfordshire
Winner – Judge’s Choice
View Gallery on the source website
Nadine took on a sunny, weed-choked allotment site and created a paradise bursting with blooms and buzzing with wildlife. Working across three plots, hundreds of ornamental species grow alongside an abundance of fruit and vegetables, and, through her work as a pollinator ecologist, she has included stunning naturalistic planting that encourages a host of wildlife to visit.
2022
Vicky Ward and Maxine Stringer, Cornwall
Winner – People’s Choice
View Gallery on the source website
Steep inclines, exposed conditions and a truly remote location were some of the challenges Vicky and Maxine overcame as they gardened their allotment-style plot by the sea. Stone, reclaimed wood, found objects and a host of tropical but resilient plants were brought along the coastal path to be integrated into what is now a garden in which to also enjoy the sea.
Nicola House, Kent
Winner – Judge’s Choice
View Gallery on the source website
Designing a holiday-at-home sanctuary where her family could truly feel rested was a big impetus behind the creation of Nicola’s naturalistic idyll. Taking a relaxed approach to planting meant mixing ornamentals, wildflowers, veg and herbs, while almost every structure has been donated, upcycled or repurposed. The shed is a particularly important place to gather around a fire and enjoy the view.
2023
Clive-Johnson Cooper, Edinburgh
Winner – Judge’s Choice and People’s Choice
View Gallery on the source website
When Clive moved into his house, there was no garden, just a makeshift extension that the previous owners used as a living room. Having gardened since childhood, he used his passion to create a courtyard oasis just streets away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre, focusing on the careful positioning of structured and tropical foliage to create a private and immersive green space.
2024
Sara Faulkner, Raynes Park, London
Winner – Judge’s Choice
View Gallery on the source website
Sara’s small, urban back garden is now a nature-loving haven for family and wildlife with several seating areas, a summerhouse, and vintage furniture and pots to give it a boho, lived-in feel. Dividing the plot into three interwoven sections and planting multiple small trees, shrubs and climbers around the boundaries to create depth and privacy, plus colourful perennials, this layered garden now provides year-round interest.
Andi and Jo Butler, Telford, Shropshire
Winner – People’s Choice
View Gallery on the source website
Jo and Andi were largely inspired to create their lushly planted tapestry of creatively designed garden ‘rooms’ by their travels in Asia, using upcycled materials and propagated plants and flowers, and working around several mature trees. It includes multiple innovatively lit seating areas, a greenhouse and a grow-your-own area, an extensive collection of roses and hostas, and an abundance of wildlife-friendly planting.
2025
Simon Richards, Folkestone, Kent
Winner – Judge’s Choice
View Gallery on the source website
Simon’s beautiful gravel garden was partly inspired by attempts to upkeep a traditional lawn over recent hot summers. With recycled turf and soil and added structure from two interlinked, wildlife-friendly ponds, a drought-tolerant prairie-style planting palette was introduced throughout the bed, borders and pots. Places to sit and take shade completed the picture.
Kamal Hussain (Kaan), Saltaire, Yorkshire
Winner – People’s Choice
View Gallery on the source website
Creating a colourful, flower-filled garden that brings joy to passersby while providing for pollinators and other beneficial wildlife was the inspiration behind Kamal’s transformation of this tiny canal-side space. A bijou seating area surrounded by containerised plants, flowers and climbers provides a place to read, relax, and watch the world go by. It’s also a haven for passersby who stop to share the joy.
]]>We Polled Hundreds of Gardeners on the Most Underrated Plants – Here’s What They Saidhttps://www.gardenersworld.com/how-to/grow-plants/we-polled-hundreds-of-gardeners-on-the-most-underrated-plants-heres-what-they-said/2026-07-13T11:00:31.000ZMany of us have favourite plants that aren’t celebrated or grown as widely as they deserve to be. The gardeners in our July 2026 Facebook shout-out listed a huge range of plants from heucheras to carnivorous plants to ferns, hellebores and cosmos, but these five plants stood out above all the rest.
Our top 5 underrated plants:
5: Mexican fleabane (Erigeron karvinskianus)
The easy-going Mexican daisy, Erigeron karvenskianus, is a winner in a sunny, well-drained spot. It flowers for months on end, providing copious amounts of nectar for pollinating insects. Although it's an enthusiastic self-seeder, it doesn't cause problems around the garden, as unwanted seedlings can be easily pulled up. With trailing stems covered in pink and white flowers, Mexican fleabane is an ideal trailing plant for pots, hanging baskets and the edge of informal borders. Its ability to cope with dry conditions and its long-flowering period make this lovely daisy a favourite of many gardeners.
Type: Semi-evergreen herbaceous perennial
Planting conditions: Full sun, any well-drained soil
Our gardeners said: Erigeron grows practically anywhere and flowers all summer long.
4: Daisy (Bellis perennis)
Mexican fleabane's wild counterpart, the humble common daisy, is next on our underrated plant list. Many gardeners recall sitting on the grass as children, making daisy chains, which lends Bellis perennis a nostalgic air. Others like the 'day's eye' best because it always makes them smile. These iconic plants are low-maintenance as they grow naturally in many of our lawns. Reducing the frequency of mowing during the summer gives daisies the chance to grow and flower. And we get to enjoy their white flowers, along with the bees and butterflies.
Type: Evergreen herbaceous perennial
Planting conditions: Full sun/partial shade, any well-drained soil
Our gardeners said: We have lots in our lawn and they look so lovely, but many people just ignore them, or tread on them.
3: London pride (Saxifraga x urbium)
London pride is loved because for many it brings back memories of childhood gardens. This evergreen saxifrage is low-maintenance, slug-resistant and drought-proof. Our gardeners appreciated how simple it is to propagate, while also being easy to remove if it's in wrong place. Its bright foliage creates a carpet of green in shadier spots, and the pretty white flowers in late spring and summer are airy and attractive. Saxifraga x urbium 'Primuloides' is a compact variety and another favourite with gardeners.
Type: Evergreen herbaceous perennial
Planting conditions: Partial/full shade, moist, well-drained soil
Our gardeners said: In the Netherlands, they are called Schildersverdriet (painter's sorrow). They are so cute and delicate!
2: Hardy geranium (Geranium)
There are so many wonderful hardy geraniums that it can be hard to choose which ones to grow. They are great underplanted with roses and deciduous shrubs in a sunny spot in the garden. Many are ideal for mixed herbaceous borders, some cope well with shade and there are compact varieties that work perfectly in rock gardens and containers. Our gardeners loved their versatility, their ability to suppress weeds and the way they attract pollinators into the garden. Try a vivid magenta variety like Geranium 'Anne Folkard' or the white flowers with lilac veins of Geranium clarkei 'Kashmir White'.
Type: Herbaceous perennial
Planting conditions: Full sun/partial shade, some tolerate full shade, well-drained soil
Our gardeners said: You only have to buy one and in three years you can split it and have loads of free plants to share with your neighbours and friends.
1: Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale agg.)
The undisputed winners – dandelions – are beloved by many gardeners for their importance as a food source for pollinators in early spring, their beautiful flowers and their uplifting colour when growing in fields en masse. The genus has 250 microspecies, all with cheerful yellow flowers from spring to early summer and the seedhead "clocks" that children love to blow to tell the time.
Type: Herbaceous perennial
Planting conditions: Full sun/partial shade, any soil
Our gardeners said: Dandelions. I love them!
]]>Men’s sexual health deserves more open conversation – here's why customers are turning to MedExpresshttps://www.gardenersworld.com/promotions/medexpress-mens-sexual-health/2026-06-23T15:08:13.000ZMany gardeners understand the value of acting early. Whether it's treating pests before they damage plants or spotting signs of disease before they spread, tackling problems sooner can often lead to better outcomes.
It's often no different with our health. Despite the benefits of acting early, many men delay addressing intimate health concerns, even when symptoms begin to have an impact on their daily lives.
One of the most common concerns is erectile dysfunction (ED), sometimes referred to as impotence. While it becomes more common with age, ED can affect men of all ages and may be linked to a range of physical and psychological factors. Despite how common it is, many men find it difficult to discuss.
Online healthcare services are helping to change that. Being able to complete a consultation from home can make it easier for men to discuss concerns they might otherwise avoid and find out what treatment options are available.
MedExpress is a UK-regulated online pharmacy that has served more than 1.5 million customers since 2013. Consultations can be completed online in minutes, with treatment available where clinically appropriate following assessment by a qualified clinician.

What are the main causes of men's sexual health issues?
Erectile dysfunction is a common condition that affects millions of men in the UK. It can occur when a man regularly finds it difficult to achieve or maintain an erection for sexual activity.
There are many possible causes of erectile dysfunction. As men get older, natural changes to blood flow and circulation can make ED more likely. Certain health conditions, including high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease and diabetes, can also affect erectile function by impacting blood vessels and circulation.
Lifestyle factors can play a role too. Being overweight, smoking and drinking excessive amounts of alcohol have all been linked to erectile dysfunction. Mental wellbeing is another important factor, with stress, anxiety and depression often contributing to symptoms. Relationship difficulties and some prescription medications may also affect sexual performance.
In some cases, erectile dysfunction can be an early sign of an underlying health condition. That's why it's important not to ignore ongoing symptoms or assume they're simply part of getting older. Talking to a healthcare professional can help identify any underlying causes and establish whether treatment may be appropriate.
How can MedExpress help with men's sexual health issues?
MedExpress offers a discreet way for men to access support for erectile dysfunction without needing to arrange a face-to-face appointment.
Patients begin by completing a secure online consultation, providing information about their symptoms, medical history and any medications they currently take. A qualified clinician then reviews the information to determine whether treatment may be appropriate.
If clinically suitable, prescription treatments for erectile dysfunction may be available following assessment. Approved treatments are delivered in discreet packaging, helping many men address a condition they may otherwise feel uncomfortable discussing.
How does MedExpress work with my GP?
By working alongside existing healthcare services, MedExpress helps expand access to care without replacing established providers.
The online consultation process allows qualified clinicians to assess a patient's suitability for treatment based on the information provided. In some situations, patients may be advised to consult their GP for further investigation or assessment before treatment can be considered.
This is particularly important where erectile dysfunction may be linked to an underlying health condition that requires additional medical attention.
What other services can I get from MedExpress?
Alongside erectile dysfunction support, MedExpress offers online consultations and treatment options across a range of healthcare categories, including weight management, men's health, hair loss, skin conditions, women's health and travel health.
As online healthcare continues to grow, more people are choosing convenient ways to manage their health and access professional support.
