Have you seen a special garden? Whether it's big or small, miles away or in your own back yard, now is the time to nominate it for our annual Beautiful Gardens contest.

It's easy to nominate: Just send a brief description of the garden and the gardener who tends it. Include a few snapshots of the garden in its glory. And don't be shy about nominating yourself.

The winning gardens and gardeners will be featured in a cover story in this section and online.

Given this year's late start to the gardening season, we've extended the deadline for nominations to June 24. You can mail nominations to: Beautiful Gardens Contest, Home+Garden, Star Tribune, 425 Portland Av. S., Minneapolis, MN 55488. Or e-mail nominations to: beautifulgardens@startribune.com.
