BOLTON Hospice have postponed their Virtual Open Gardens competition.
The contest was due to take place this week but has now been postponed until July 20.
The Hospice is calling on people to send in photos of their gardens in the following categories: hanging basket, vegetable garden, community garden, front garden and back garden.
Winners from each category will be chosen along with an overall winner.
A spokesman for Bolton Hospice said: "July has been a wash out so far, meaning we haven't had as many entries for our competition as we had hoped.
"The good news is that the sun will be shining this weekend and there's a heatwave on its way.
"Please get snapping and send in your garden photos by Sunday July 19."
Photos can be submitted by emailing fundraising@boltonhospice.org.
