The voting for our first-ever RHS Gardening Blogs Competition has now closed and we can announce that Poppies On The Downs by The Anxious Gardener was your favourite.
As well as a visit to an RHS Flower Show on press day in 2014 and a tour of an RHS Garden with the curator, the winner will also have the chance to blog on the new RHS website next year.
Thank you very much to everyone who entered a blog post, and took the time to share their gardening triumphs, tribulations, advice, discoveries and more; our judges (find out more about them below) had a difficult task whittling them down to our fabulous finalists.
All finalists will have a chance to visit an RHS Flower Show on press day in 2014, and a button to display on their blog.
