THIS Southampton garden provides a real sanctuary for its grateful owner.
A year in lockdown has taught Laura Corkindale a valuable lesson - to enjoy what you have on your own doorstep.
Laura is an outdoors kind of girl, crazy for wildlife and photography, so when the country locked down once again, her spirits withered.
Now spring is here, Laura's spirits are lifting and colour is brightening her soul. She's spent time capturing new life emerging in her own garden in Freemantle.

We'd love you to send us a photo of your garden, window box or allotment, telling us who you are and what area/town you live in, for our 'Over the Garden Fence' feature
