Good try, krisla!
But your first and third sentences have a comma splice, and your second sentence does not include an appositive.
Consider something like the following:
1. Easily forgetting about parks and gardens during the long winter, many of us are looking forward to enjoying them soon, as spring and summer tend to make us think of doing outdoor activities.
2. Many of us are looking forward to enjoying our parks and gardens, easily forgotten about during the long winter, as spring and summer tend to make us think of doing outdoor activities.
3. As spring and summer tend to make us think of doing outdoor activities, many of us are looking forward to enjoying our parks and gardens, which are easy to forget about during the long winter.
