EVERYTHING in the garden is lovely at Vale House Court, Whalley, thanks to the tireless efforts of Mr Walter Armitage and Mrs Lorna Cronshaw.
Praise for their labour of love
The delights of a beauti ful garden, packed with almost every colour and plant you could name, do not come easily.
But the hard work and rewards of weeding, planting and watering are well known to Mrs Cronshaw and Mr Armi tage, who work together to maintain the splen dour of the gardens at Vale House Court.
The gardens around the Kibble Valley Council sheltered accommoda tion complex are a joy to behold, with beds full of begonias, geraniums and French and African marigolds — to name but a few.
The colourful result of th e ir hard work is appreciated not just by the residents, but by local people and visitors.
In an anonymous letter to the “Advertiser and Times,” there were words of praise for Mr Armitage, who was said to be “never out of trou- ble for s c a t te r in g crumbs of soil from the soles of his shoes on to the carpet."

The cost of the plants used in the garden is sup ported by contributions from the residents.
Much of the hard work that goes into the gar den is unseen in the flo ral display — but no one could see the final result without appreciating the beauty that a skilled gardener can create.
