A man whose garden saved him from depression is opening his gates to the public.
Former head teacher Andrew Barnett, 61, won a gardening against the odds award for his garden in Shay Gate, Wilsden.
Now Mr Barnett, who helped fight depression by transforming his derelict garden into a wonderland, will invite visitors on Saturday, Sunday and Monday from 10am to 4pm.
Donations will be taken at the gate at 16 Shay Gate to go towards glaucoma research, a condition which runs in Mr Barnett’s family.
Mr Barnett’s daughter Alexandra, who nominated him for the award, said: “Not only has my dad saved this garden from a boggy existence, I really believe the garden has saved my dad.”
