How to enter
All you need to do to enter is to leave a comment on this blog, briefly outlining your plans for your garden in 2021. Scroll to the bottom of this page to comment (your email address won't be published). You’ll also need to be a subscriber to our monthly email newsletter to be a winner, so if you're not already signed up, fill in your email address in the grey band right at the bottom of this page. You can unsubscribe at any time if you don’t enjoy our monthly updates.
Your plans for your 2021 garden might be simple - ours is to plant more white flowers in the wildlife bed, to keep the all-day buffet going after dark so the moths can enjoy it too. You may want to grow more of your own fruit and veg next year, or branch out into new and unusual crops. Perhaps you have your eye on trying some heritage varieties of familiar favourites.
Or you might have grander plans - a new greenhouse, perhaps, to accommodate the ever-growing plant population in your garden. Or perhaps grander still, if you're lucky enough to have the space to play with - maybe a wildlife pond, landscaping a terrace on a gradient, or planting a copse of native trees... Whatever gardening vision you see in your mind's eye, we'd love to hear about it!

We’ve just moved to a new home and have got our first garden. I’m looking forward to getting into gardening come spring time, and would love some tools to help me do this.
My gardening space is tiny but I am planning to add more pots. I was thrilled to see buterflies and bees in my garden last summer, as we planted bee friendly seeds. There were raspberries and redcurants and wild strawberries, garlic and lavander. I am planning to add more outdoor tomatoes as my son absolutely love to come into the garden and eat something delicious and organic, snails and slugs love it too. I would like to grow more flowers which I could cut and enjoy at diding table for a while. I also am planning to plant more salad leaves as they grow so quickly! Unfortunately our neighbour don’t look after his garden, it is full with car details, old car boots and other rubbish and two enourmous trees and when it is raining, and it feels it is raining most days, snails and slugs are coming to my garden to munch. I bought Clematis at tesco saleand after lots of love it blossomed and i thought it would lool beautiful on the fence with neighbour, the one which I mentioned before.I cried so hard when next morning two Clematis flowers were gone. I am not fan of slugs and snails and looks like this is task which I need to research as otherwise it cause too many heartaches when everything is damaged and eaten by these greedy creatures.Only plant which they hate is my mint! Perfect for tea and for cake and cupcake decoration!
Just got a new shed, so the next job will be decking and planting
I want to plant some new shrubs, tidy up the current ones and add a seating area.
I would like to plant some more flowers in my front garden. It needs more colours to cheer us all up
