You have shared your beautiful garden photos for the last week – have you appeared in today’s gallery?
After just one week we have received scores of entries and seen brilliant uses for sprawling lawns and compact patios.
John and Lindi Carrington shared a photo from their Woodbridge garden and talked about the joys of their centuries-old garden.
Mr Carrington said: “During lockdown, as with so many others, our garden has been a haven of peace and sanity.
“It’s been a garden for over 200 years and there are many established trees and shrubs. We have a mulberry tree, a Judas tree and a strawberry tree, all very old.
“Even so, there is always room for improvement and that’s one of the things the past couple of months have given us time to plan and prepare for.
“Areas have been cleared and fed ready for the reopening of plant nurseries so that we can add more plants to the mix.”
As well as making themselves a sanctuary, the Carringtons also open their garden up to the public during the summer months, although this has not been possible during the pandemic.
“We usually open a few times in the year to raise funds for charities,” Mr Carrington added.
“This is not possible this year so we are making sure we’ll give a good show next year.”
