Plenty of us will have been making the most of this week's good weather to enjoy our gardens before autumn takes hold and the temperatures dip.
The Watford Observer has been asking readers to give us a glimpse of their gardens during the summer and Maria Dix got in touch to show us how her hard work has paid off at her Watford home.
Maria said: "My garden is my creation and relaxation."
