TODAY we are having a little peek at three very different gardens in Bournemouth and Christchurch.

We are featuring a stone garden, a Mediterranean garden and a wildlife garden.

And while all these gardens have adopted different styles and landscapes all share one very important thing in common - they have provided joy and given these Bournemouth Echo readers a peaceful haven during the coronavirus pandemic and in particular during lockdown.

Working in the garden reduces cortisol levels, a chemical your body produces in response to stress. Even sitting in the garden helps too!
