Readers' Gardens
Whether you've got green fingers; love to "grow your own" vegetables or simply admire the horticultural efforts of others, our new gardening platform has something for everyone!

East Lancashire may seem to get more than its fair share of rainfall, but that helps to keep local gardens - private and municipal - lush and bursting with new plant life. And, thanks to the skills and hard work of local gardeners, the area is bursting with colour summer and winter.

We take a look at some top gardens in picture specials; pass on top tips on how to keep your garden looking good and how to get bumper crops all year round and the experts share their gardening know-how.

Whether you're from the glorious Ribble Valley, are proud of your Pendle roots or live in beautiful Burnley, have a few acres, an allotment or even a back yard, you're sure to enjoy our gardening special.

Whether you've got some gardening stories, tips or pictures to share, we want to hear from you, too.
