Flower power paid dividends for Healing The Wounds, the Welsh charity which helps treat sufferers of PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder).
Members of the Llanmadog and Cheriton Gardeners Association on the Gower peninsular open their gardens every summer to raise money for different charities.
The Healing The Wounds charity benefitted from the gesture for the second year running.
Mr Mike Bristow hosted a presentation evening at the community hall in Llanmadog and a cheque for £1,875 was handed to Kevin and Carol Richards, representing Healing The Wounds.
A total of 14 gardens were opened for public viewing in the summer.
“The gardeners all work extremely hard to make every summer viewing a success and raise as many funds as possible for their chosen charities and we were once again overwhelmed with the gardeners’ generosity,” said Kevin Richards, founder of Healing The Wounds.
Carol Richards, secretary for Healing The Wounds, added: “The funds raised by the gardeners will be used to provide much needed treatments for our veterans suffering from post traumatic stress. We are extremely grateful to everyone who worked so hard to prepare their gardens for viewing.”
Healing the Wounds would like to thank everyone who has raised funds for the charity. Anyone interested in helping to raise funds for the charity can ring 01656 728281 or go to www.healingthewounds.co.uk
