A BLOOMING good night was had at the Beggars Reach Hotel, Burton, when Radio 2 gardening expert Terry Walton attended an event for Prostate Cymru.

President Katharine East and the members of the Milford Haven Inner Wheel organised the evening in the company of allotment guru Mr Walton, best known for appearing on the Jeremy Vine Show and Radio Wales.

The event raised £1,300 for Prostate Cymru, thanks to the hard work of members Brenda Peake, Audrey Hancock and the ladies of the Inner Wheel.

A large audience enjoyed a buffet supper as Terry shared his tales, experience and knowledge of his gardening experiences.

The audience were captivated by his stories from the allotment in the Rhondda Valley and particularly the plot that he regularly broadcasts from on the Jeremy Vine Show.

He shared his experiences of being a “born again” organic gardener because of his strategic way of growing all his produce using natural means of nourishing them.

Terry was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2012 and is dedicated to helping prostate cancer sufferers as an ambassador for Prostate Cymru by regularly raising awareness of the disease which affects 1 in 8 men and leads to 550 men dying of it each year in Wales.
