🔍 January 2026 GOTM Winners 📚
This month, the theme was “New Beginnings“, and your garden designs to represent the new year were so creative, it was difficult for us to choose!
Don’t forget — the CuppaZee Gardens Tool is your go-to resource for dreaming up your own designs or finding the perfect spot to deploy! Whether you’re going for grandeur or keeping it light, it’s the best place to start your garden adventure.
Without further ado, let’s jump right in to celebrate the winners for January:
🔍 WhoDuckIt Mag Glass designed by Nezzmuk in Logan, UT, US
The new year is certainly a mystery to us all — but perhaps garden designer Nezzmuk plans to spend it by putting their crime-solving skills to the test! Of course, we always love it when a newer Munzee type, such as the WhoDuckIt, is incorporated into a garden — but even if this garden didn’t include them, it would still be eye-catching as the multiple shades of gray-colored Virtuals and the multiple Flats mirroring them create depth.
📚Antagonist Cafe and Pieces Game Bar ♟️ designed by nyisutter in St. Louis, MO, US
Of all the gardens, we felt that this one fit the theme the best! Garden designer nyisutter took the time to write up their thought process on designing this garden in the description on CuppaZee, so click its name above to check it out! We loved learning the reasons behind the Munzee types they chose to use, and also more about their wishes for the new year. We hope all of those wishes are granted! 🙏
