WE would like to thank everyone who supported us in our "Open Garden" event last weekend enabling us to raise a total of about £2,500 which will be shared between our chosen local charities - Children Today, The Bolton Hospice and Fortalice.

We owe special thanks to Greenhalgh`s Craft bakery who donated the delicious scones — the basis of the wonderful cream teas — and Giant`s Leap nurseries who donated all the shreddings for our paths.

We hope you all enjoyed it as much as we did.
