flushed with success! AN unusual way to raise money for Rim- ington Playing Fields has come to light due to the efforts of a villager who decided to knock down an out house in the garden of his home. Feeling flushed with success, Ian


Wolfenden decided that the antique Victo­ rian toilet which was housed in the old out house would make the ideal item to be auc­ tioned on e-bay hopefully creating a chain reaction from the public. So far the highest bid has reached £31,


but Ian is hoping to raise much more by the time bidding finishes on Sunday at 7-50 p.m. The e-bay number, for those Mshing to purchase the royal seat made by R. Duckett and Sons, of Burnley, is 7317980301 under “Antique Victorian Toi­ let”. For those not in the high-tech age yet, a


sweep is being held at the Black Bull Hotel, in Rimington, to guess the price the porce­ lain furniture MU be auctioned for. So, reg­ ulars go along before it’s too late and place your bet.


Facelift for popular Valley hostelry


A LANDMARK Ribble Valley pub is back in business after a major facelift. The Bay Horse, on the A59 at Osbalde-


ston, closed for several weeks as leading brewers Thwaites embarked on a £250,000 re-building and refurbishment project. Licensees Christine Willan and Alan


Hawthorne, pictured below, held a special music night featuring band Nightowl to mark the new look and re-opening. Christine said: “The transformation is


just unbelievablelt has retained a tradi­ tional olde world decor with a coal fire, but we’ve got an extra room, a no-smoking area for dining, patio doors open on to the gar­ den, a new bar, new disabled access and a superb games room while the beer garden has been re-turfed and there’s a patio on the side.”

TV gardeners predict trends


THE snaps of warm weather we’ve had in spring have prompted many garden­ ers to look ahead to see what’s going to be in vogue this summer. In the last few years we’ve harked back to


the natural look, Mth a surge in popularity of informal gardens and a return to green, Mth many foUage plants becoming the focal point of a plot. But what’s going to be in vogue this sum­


mer? Some TV gardening experts offer their views: B “There’s a continued return to herba­


ceous planting, as the Gertrude Jekyll effect kicks in again as an antidote to the turbu­ lence in the world. In war, you go back to the traditional - delphiniums, lupins, rud- beckias, cottage garden plants. “It’s also a reaction to everything con­


temporary that’s been going on in the gar­ den for many years. People are deciding, ‘We’ve tried that, now let’s go back to what we really like’. A lot of people were swept along Mth what they didn’t like because it was the thing to do. “People are looking more at colour and


getting away from the jungle effect. Laven­ der will be big, but I’m saying that because I’m doing a lavender garden at Chelsea this year. “Also, sculpture in the garden has become


really big - stone, wood, conceptual, every­ thing is in.” Diarmuid Gavin, TV garden designer and Chelsea Flower Show medal­ list.


B “I think there’s a mass movement towards regenerating lawns. It’s been com­ ing for a while. Lawns used to be seen as two-dimensional, a means to an end to get between your borders, but not any more. “And I don’t mean this religious tending,


spiking, moMng thing. You can simply sow different types of grass or lay different colours of turf for a great effect. Sculpting may be a big growth area, making soft seat­ ing and tables from lawns.” - Toby Buck- land, landscape gardener and guest presen­ ter of the BBC’s “Home Front In The Gar­ den”, “Gardeners’ World Live” and “Weed It


& Reap”, on UKTV Style Gardens. fl “It MU be herbaceous reborn this sum­


mer. Herbaceous plants have slowly been coming back in. Plants such as hemerocal- lises (day lily) and dahlias are back.,We’ve had decorative grasses, bamboo and olive trees for such a long time. Plants have been playing second fiddle in a lot of garden designs but I think colour MU be back in - greys and silvers and whites at the edges, then into hot colours like yellows and reds and back out into greys and whites.” - Chris Collins, “Blue Peter” gardener and presenter of “Garden Rivals” on UKTV Style Gardens. B “People will still he going for decking because it’s a great surface but there MU be a slow grow in natural English stone. There’s a lot of Chinese and Indian stuff coming over at the.moment which is a lot cheaper, but we should try to use indigenous stone where we can. “It’s not as expensive as you might think. Also, Mth manufactured stone, or cast con­ crete, the more elaborate the design the more it costs. “On a recent ‘Ground Force’, which got


great feedback, I mixed decking with gran­ ite, like a necklace around it, so I think you might see a mixture of the two materials. If you use natural stone and decking, have steel or iron furniture to contrast. The fur­ niture should be quite delicate and of a con­ temporary design, in black.” - Tommy Walsh, “Ground Force” guru. ■
