A keen gardener who spent 18 years of love and attention on her garden has told why she opened it up to the public.
Lesley Middleton, and her husband Mike from Poulton-le-Fylde, Lancashire, have transformed the garden which goes all around their home on Breck Road.
Middleton, a member of the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS), revealed her labour of love to the public as part of the society’s National Garden Scheme, where ordinary householders are encouraged to display their gardens to the public to raise funds for charity.
“We have spent hours and hours on this garden and I thought it would be nice to show people what can be done and let strangers into my garden,” she said.
