AS lockdown forced many of us to spend much more time at home, a lot of people turned their attention to their gardens.

Now we are asking you to help take us on a virtual tour of the glorious gardens around the region.

Lots of gardens will be showing beautiful spring blooms, delighting their occupants with an array of floral displays.

And that is certainly the case with Lorrane Gibson's colouful garden in Bournemouth, pictured here.  

She said: "My garden has always been a haven for me but never more so than during lockdown where I’m constantly aware of how lucky I am to have my own outdoor space so nearby.

"I love it whatever the season but spring is my favourite time, when the first tentative shoots and buds of new growth appear and colour returns in the shape of sunshine-yellow daffodils, bluebells, tulips and cherry blossom."

Whether it's an oasis of pots, a sprawling lawn with bright borders, beautiful hanging baskets or something completely unique, we want to see more of your gorgeous gardens.

Maybe it's window boxes, a veg plot or an allotment, if you're proud of your efforts share it with us by clicking the box below or email pictures and some details to hilary.porter@newsquest.co.uk
