Open garden event raised £1,760 for air ambulance

An open garden event in Jurby last weekend has raised vital funds for a crucial Island medical service.

Last Saturday, professional gardener Craig Brinkley welcomed residents to his elaborate garden creation aiming to raise money for the Isle of Man Air Ambulance.

It's now been confirmed £1,760 has been generated for the cause with Health and Social Care Minister, David Ashford MHK, also taking time out to visit and support the efforts.

Government has since taken to social media to congratulate hosts Craig and Ben for a 'wonderful community event' which was 'much admired and enjoyed by all who visited'.
