As clouds loomed overhead, thankfully the rain stayed away; as invited guests and residents arrived to see St Helens Mayor Neil Taylor and his Mayoress wife Ginny open the Community Garden on Lyon Close. Once the formalities were over the gate was opened to allow people in to view the garden, and Kids Club members got to work planting flowers in one of the raised beds. Thanks go to local resident Ted Cowhig for his generous donation, part of which was used to purchase a bench which will bear a plaque in recognition of his kindness. Special thanks also go to St Helens Chamber and Steve Anders and his team for all the hard work they put in to ensure we had the garden ready for the opening. Had it not been for them this project would never have got off the ground. Later everyone headed over to Raglan Court for a buffet lunch to finish off an enjoyable day.
