Best possible hat-trick season


Gold’s no longergood enough for Valley's horticultural heroes


byDuncanSmith duncan.smith1@jpress.co.uk Twitten@clithadvertiser


Ribble Valley’s gardening gu­ rus, John Foley and Kate Law- son, have rounded off another outstanding show season by goingone better than gold!


At the Harrogate Autumn flower show last week, the couple - who together run Holden Clough Nursery - fin­ ished the 2014 flower show season on a golden high. But at this show the Gold


wasn’t the top award and in­ stead the green-fingered cou­ ple came away with a coveted PremierGold! This most sought after


award is exclusive to the pres­ tigious Harrogate Show and recognises the exceptionally high standards that the nurs­ ery is achieving with its top quality range of hardy plants - all grown on site at Holden Clough by John, Kate and their willing team. This is the third top medal


that the nursery has won this year - a Gold at Tatton, Large Gold at Southport and now the Premier Gold at Harrogate. It is a remarkable hat-trick which means they have been awarded top in their category at all three shows. “I ju s t cant


believe our luck," said John, who was the BBC’s Young Gardener of the Year. “Butluckdoesn’tcomeinto

The new season of popular film nights at Christ Church, Chatburn, starts on Tuesday, October 14th, with a spe­ cial showing of one of the most iconic films of all time, “Whistle Down the Wind”, together with some unique activities that have special relevance to the local area. It will serve as a celebra­


tion of the career ofRichard Attenborough, the producer of the film, who died recently, as well as having strong local interest. The movie was shot pri­


marily in Downham andal- so in Burnley and Bacup. Its making in 1961 holds fond memories for many peo­ ple, and is a reminder of the values of life at that time. The story is based on the


novel written by Mary Hayley Bell, the wife of John Mills, and centres on children who mistake a fugitive for Jesus. Many of the characters

‘like all good gar­ deners John and Kate are deter­

Clough from his father, fel­ low renowned gardener Pe­ ter Foley, in 2009. John and


his partner Emma have been on a horticultural rollercoast­ er ride. From what was a hidden


little plot in the Ribble Valley, they are now growing award­ winning plants and winning nationally recognised awards across the country, along with developing the nursery into a popular destination for visi­ tors. With the recent develop1


ment of the Garden Kitch­ en, Holden Clough isn’t just a great place to see and buy


quality plants, but also a great place for a memorable day out. Yetlikeallgoodgardeners, John and Kate are determined


not to rest on their laurels and are already planning for the winter ahead and wondering how they can improve still fur­ ther next year. • John Foley writes the

and events parallel those found in Christian literature. Hayley Mills played a


leading part in the film before her career with Disney Studios. More than 200 local children were giv­ en parts in the film alongside the other stars, Alan Bates and Bernard


Lee. The key parts of Hay­ ley Mills’ brother and sister were played by local school- children Alan Barnes and Diane Holgate. Diane recalls: “We were


so lucky to have such lovely people as Richard Attenbor­ ough and Brian Forbes, the


_/ director. It was great how it brought people together, and it still does.”

Diane is having a valuable


input to the preparations for the evening and will be attending along with others who took part in the filming. It will be a further op­


portunity for people to see themselves or someone they know who appeared in the film, and take a look at the local landscape at that time. The evening starts at 7 pm


and there will be a display of memorabilia and photo­ graphs, behind-the-scenes information and attendance by members of the cast who will take part in a question and answer session reveal­ ing some fascinating facts and secrets about the mak­ ing of the film. The film will be shown at 8 pm followed by tea and biscuits. This is a free event, al­


though donations to the church are invited. There will also be information on future events and films at Christ Church, Chatburn.
