What on earth could "woke" possibly mean in the context of judging gardens? Many of the gardens were dedicated to charities and some incorporated a logo or concept of the charity in its design. Also, the telegraph reckons, this lead to a more naturalistic/botanic style of the gardens as opposed to the palace-style "champagne" gardens of the past. e: You did ask.
