After enduring many drizzly days we have recently welcomed some much-needed sunshine, and now your gardens look bright and bountiful.

Bournemouth resident Karin Gregory shared some lovely pictures of her garden with us, revealing that particular plants in her garden are firm favourites with bees and butterflies.

She said: "Since lockdown began I have found the garden to be a source of calm and tranquillity. I love seeing all the bees and butterflies enjoying the brightly coloured plants.

"The birds often fly into the garden to feast upon the berries and insects, especially in the autumn. It's my favourite place to be."

Beautiful black Lillies and Lavender were also shared with us.

Jacqueline Rutter sent us pictures of her "lovely small garden with blooming flowers in raised beds."

Finally, we peek over June Woods' garden fence.

June described her garden as "somewhere to get away from it all."
