It's the Year of the Garden in Canada, and the Canadian Garden Council says there are plenty of benefits to putting your hands in the soil. And Newfoundland Morning invites you to take part in our photo contest!

2022 is - officially in Canada - the Year of the Garden. While many of us already had experience planting flowers and vegetables, many more of us became gardeners during Covid lockdowns. We here at Newfoundland Morning want to celebrate by sharing your beautiful garden photos with our audience (listen for contest details at the end). Michel Gauthier wants to see them, too. He's the executive director of the Canadian Garden Council, and he spoke with CBC's Leigh Anne Power.
