Our on-going renovation of our garden in East Lansing, Michigan began when we bought the house 4 years ago. Then, there was nothing in our backyard but scrub honeysuckle and buckthorn. But slowly, we've brought structure to the space with flagstone paths, retaining walls, a gazebo and a garden shed. And many, many plantings. We never forget to add planting spring bulbs to our list of fall chores, as they inspire us with their beauty every year.

About this contest
In the garden, the signs of spring are subtle but significant. Snow recedes and brown turns to green as the weather warms and the daylight lengthens. Grab your camera and post a "spring awakenings" photo in this gallery by April 15 for a chance to win a prize.
Fine Gardening's staff members will choose a winner based on design appeal, creativity, and photo quality. The winner will receive a $100 gift certificate from White Flower Farm. See the Official Contest Rules for details.
