This is the time of year when hundreds of us enjoy weekend trips to open gardens both large and small around the region.
But this year, due to the on-going pandemic, gardens are closed to the public and we’re having to forgo our fix.
So we’ve decided to hold a ‘virtual open garden’ instead. Readers have been sharing pictures of their gardens, pots and window boxes.
And here is our first selection.
If you want to share a picture of your garden just to go to https://www.southwalesargus.co.uk/my/ccn/questionnaire/hkco8QjX/ for our easy-to-use Q&A.
