Summer is here and we want to celebrate your efforts and see the spoils of your hard work in our Gardens in Bloom photo special, in association with Dobbies Garden Centre.
If you have entered this competition and sent us a photo your garden will be featured in this newspaper today, Wednesday, July 27.
Being out in the garden means so much to so many - happiness, relaxation, tranquillity - the health benefits for body and soul are endless. But we know your garden doesn't just magically end up looking glorious - it takes time and effort.
All photographs will feature in your Liverpool Echo on Wednesday 27th July 2022. Online voting will commence from Wednesday 27th July 2022 until 5pm on Friday 5th August 2022.
The top 10 gardens voted for by you will then appear in a special print supplement on Wednesday 10th August - and be sent to Dobbies for judging. The winning garden will be featured in-print and online on Wednesday 24th August 2022 and will receive a £250 gift card to spend at Dobbies Garden Centre.
