Last month we asked you to tell us about your garden, and we received many beautiful photos and stories about creative gardens around town.

"I garden in Ann Arbor on Hanover Street. My backyard garden is a special place to relax and enjoy. I do all my own gardening and enjoy trying lots of different plants. I enjoy all phases of gardening; creating a place, planting, weeding and enjoying/relaxing in the garden. I love to share my garden and have friends over in the summer to enjoy this special place. Thanks for letting me share it with others via AnnArbor.com."

Like Hewlett's garden? Today is the last day to enter your own. Readers may send up to two photos of a flower, vegetable or landscape garden to community@annarbor.com, along with a short description of what makes the garden special.

After we've showcased all the gardens that were submitted, we'll post a poll and let you vote on your favorite. The garden with the most votes at the close of the poll will be featured in an upcoming story in the print edition of AnnArbor.com.
