Thank you, AnnArbor.com gardeners for sharing tales and snapshots of your outdoor spaces with us. It's time to vote for your favorite(s) in our Summer Garden Contest.
In June, we asked you to tell us about your garden, and 21 readers came through in spades. We saw wildflowers, kitchen gardens, native plants and perennials. We heard how you shared your retreats with neighbors, families, pets and community folks. We smiled at your whimsical touches — a few fairy gardens, a block M, a scarecrow and even "Betty Crocker" peeking out from the foliage.
Now it's time to choose your favorite gardens in our Summer Garden Contest. The winner with the most votes will be featured in an upcoming story in the print edition of AnnArbor.com.
Here's how it works:
1) Watch the slideshow of the 21 entries above.
2) Go to Summer Garden Contest to read all of the garden descriptions, or click the titles in the "more info" section below.
3) Vote for your favorites in the poll below. You may vote for as many as you like, but please vote only once (but do share it with friends!).
4) Add a comment about your favorite gardens.
We'll keep the poll open until Aug. 13, and the garden with the most votes will be featured in AnnArbor.com's print edition.
Thank you for joining in the fun. We enjoyed seeing your beautiful places and we hope you did, too.
