A CROSS Hills man is opening his garden to the public in support of Airedale Hospital & Community Charity.

Stephen Clemence will welcome visitors on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, from next month until June, 2024.

The sunken cottage-style garden – at Greystones – includes a range of small tress, herbaceous shrubs and roses, plus an alpine rockery, grotto, bothy and water features.

Entry will be between 11am and 4pm, by pre-booked telephone appointment.

Admission is £4 per person, with under-tens admitted free. Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.

Refreshments will be available for a small fee, if pre-arranged.

All proceeds will go to Airedale Hospital & Community Charity.

Mr Clemence says: "When visiting Greystones I hope people will gain some inspiration, especially when faced with the challenges of developing a small space. I really look forward to meeting lots of people and sharing our gardening stories!"

Laura Hepworth, community fundraiser at Airedale Hospital & Community Charity, says: "We would like to say a huge 'thank you' to Stephen. The donations made by visitors will help us to raise vital funds."
