Rows of colorful tulips kick off the blooming season at Elizabeth Park in Hartford.

“I shot this on Mother's Day (May 8th 2016) at 3:30pm. I captured it with my iPhone 6s. I used a filter (lo-fi) and also raised the "structure" a bit on Instagram. Elizabeth Park is one of my favorite places in Connecticut that I've discovered so far and I wanted to share it with my parents who came in for the weekend for Mother's Day. They loved it as well! We had brunch at the Pond House then walked through the gardens, which when I captured this shot.” — Leanne I.

See how your flowerbeds could look with a walk through the display gardens at White Flower Farms.

“The photo was taken the second weekend of May in the morning. I used my iPhone with no filter or Photoshop just a quick snap. The flower layout was so perfect full of color and dimension it didn't need anything to make it more beautiful. I chose White Flower Farm because it has that old farm style charm. It's in a gorgeous area of Litchfield and all the gardens are so inspiring.” — Amanda L.

Wander through Florence Griswold's English-style garden, with layers of flowers and paths to get lost in.

“I shot this image midday in June on my smartphone camera. I boosted the contrast and brightness using in-app editing before posting it to Instagram. A CT native, I'm a big fan of the Florence Griswold Museum and the work they do; they maintain a gorgeous historic garden restored to its circa 1910 beauty.” — Natalie D.

Just one of the beautifully-landscaped garden settings at Wickham Park In Manchester.

“I took this photo during a late afternoon in June of 2015 with my Canon Rebel t5i.  I edited the photo using the VSCO app on my smartphone. Only minor adjustments such as color enhancement were used. I chose to take this photo of the Scottish Garden inside Wickam Park because of its inviting entry and flawless symmetry.” — Seth R.

The lush gardens of Waterford’s Harkness Memorial, with a view of Long Island Sound in the distance.

“This garden was shot at the end of July, originally on assignment for garden design magazine. It was originally shot on my Nikon D4 camera and then through Instagram. I almost exclusively shoot gardens at dawn. Perfect time of day, perfect light.” — Stacy B.

“This was taken in August of 2019 at the Bartlett Arboretum & Gardens in Stamford with a Nikon Coolpix p900. I think I used Snapseed just to boost the vibrancy and crop. Bartlett is one of my favorite places since I always find new areas to explore and each season is unique. This area is near the 9/11 memorial.” – Michele D.
