A GARDEN centre celebrating it's 30th birthday has raised £200 for the Nepal earthquake appeal.

Hearts Delight on Long Road, Lawford, made cakes for the special event.

Over the weekend profits from the sale of Rhododendrons, which are Nepal's national flower, were donated to the appeal.

Keith Simons, owner of the garden centre, said it was also their popular dogs' birthday too.

Martha and Prudence are always on hand to say hello to shoppers - the pair have just turned three.

Hearts Delight raised money for the Nepal Earthquake appeal along with a number of other garden centres across the country that are part of the same marketing group.

He added: "It puts everything into context - us rushing about, not having enough cash, it doesn't bear any comparison."
