Shed lovers can show off their garden sanctuary in a new competition being launched this month.

Owners have until July 19 to bring a picture of their quirky or unusual shed to the Lower Morden Garden Centre.

The competition is part of the build up to the Lower Morden Lane retailer’s shed weekend, which is set to take place on July 11 and 12, and the most interesting entry will receive a free solar light.

Garden centre manager Matthew Upton said: “Our shed weekend links in with National Shed Week starting on July 6.

“Sheds aren’t just for old pots and gardening tools.

"Some people use them for train sets, others convert them into offices and writers and artists use them as tranquil havens.”
