Are you a good garden photographer?
If you answered yes, consider submitting your photos of Iowa Public Gardens for the 2026 ISU Extension Garden Calendar. Each month, we will feature a different Iowa public garden. (The gardens we plan to feature are listed here: Public Gardens of Iowa).
If you have high-quality digital images taken at one (or many) of these gardens, please submit them for consideration in the 2026 Garden Calendar.
Call for Submissions: 2026 Garden Calendar
All Iowa public garden photo submissions must be original, at least 300 dpi, 1000 pixels by 1000 pixels or larger, in landscape orientation, and without enhancements, alterations, or watermarks. (More image requirements are listed on the submission page).
The deadline for submissions is April 1, 2025. Photos will be reviewed in late spring, and final decisions will be made in late summer. Those whose photos are selected as featured images will receive a free calendar.
