Gardens open BIRSTALL’S ANNUAL garden trail was held in June and this year gardens on the lower Greengate estate were opened to the public. Hundreds of visitors enjoyed finding some real hidden gems and helped raise £2500 over the weekend, which was organised by Birstall Methodist Church and sponsored by Birstall Garden Centre. Half of the money raised will go to the leprosy charity ‘Promise Nepal’ and half to church funds. Continued on page 2
