Do you grow plants in unusual places? We’d like to hear from you!

Enter the Guardian Grows competition and inspire us with your most inventive means of planting. Whether you’re growing flowers in upcycled wellies or vegetables in an old kitchen sink, share your most original places to grow plants – one photo per person please – for the chance to win up to £100 in garden centre vouchers.

We want to prove that you don’t need acres of land to enjoy planting. The winning images will be publicly displayed in the Guardian lobby from 20 July – 2 Aug.
