If you have a garden that makes your neighbors green with envy, we want to hear about it.
The Baltimore Sun is searching for the most beautiful and creative gardens in the metropolitan area. Flower gardens, shade gardens, container gardens and even water gardens will be considered, but they should be designed and tended by amateurs. Those selected will be featured in a publication this summer. Category winners will receive a $50 garden center gift card.
To submit your entry, send 3-5 photos and a 200-word description of your garden to homes@baltsun.com.
Or mail the photos to Baltimore Sun, Garden Contest, 501 N. Calvert St. Baltimore, MD 21278
Be sure to explain the type and size of garden, its noteworthy features and your source of inspiration. The deadline for submission is June 3.

I hope to see low maintenance ground cover gardens! That would make me envious.

My container garden is lovely, but things aren't quite filled out yet... while I do plan to enter, it doesn't achieve full scale beauty until late June. Wish you were having this contest later in the summer. Are photos from last year ok?

Michelle Brown, I am working toward the goal of all ground covers, no mulch! Not quite there yet, but making progress every year.
