iN PHOTOS: A peek into beautiful backyards, gardens in Thompson-Okanagan

There are some stunning yards in Kamloops and the Okanagan with patios, lights and gardens bursting with flowers and shrubs.

These colourful spaces are a testament to all the hard work some residents do all spring and summer to beautify their corners of the neighbourhoods.

These backyard oases look perfectly inviting for early morning cups of coffee to late evening respites from the heat.

If you have an immaculate garden you want to share, send photos of it to news@infonews.ca.
