Having a lovely garden means different things to different people and for Maria Lewis it helps provide a source of comfort and offer a personal tribute to the NHS.
We have been asking Watford Observer readers to give us a glimpse of their garden throughout the summer and in many cases show the fruits of their hard work during lockdown.
Maria sent us these pictures of her garden in Kings Langley.

She said: "My garden is my solace since becoming a widow, especially during lockdown.
"I like to propagate plants, also visiting local nurseries to see what bargains I can find."
Maria painted this old bench and table to "represent the NHS rainbow"
