The grand grounds of stately homes or exotic botanical displays may hog the limelight but gardens in accessible-to-all public spaces are just as important for our wellbeing. This week we’d like to hear about beautiful gardens that are open to the public – and free to enter; perhaps you volunteer at one or simply enjoy visiting. Examples range from south London’s Brockwell Park Walled Garden and Community Greenhouses to Sheffield Botanical Gardens to smaller community-run havens such as Nightingale Garden in Cambridge. There’s also the plethora of spectacular seaside and city centre gardens to enjoy.

We’d love to hear about your favourite – but it must be free to enter. Wherever it is send us a detailed description saying why you love it – of around 100 words.

The best tip of the week, chosen by travel expert Tom Hall, will win a £200 voucher from glamping specialist Canopy & Stars, which has more than 700 places to stay amid nature. The best tips will appear on the Guardian Travel website.

We’re sorry, but for legal reasons you must be a UK resident to enter this competition.

Photographs are welcome if they are high quality and you are happy to share them, but it is the text we will consider.

If you do send photographs please ensure you are the copyright holder.

The competition closes on 18 August at 10am BST
