KINDHEARTED workers have helped put the finishing touches to a community garden.

Pendle Community Hospital was struggling to raise money for a horticultural project until BAe Samlesbury stepped in to save the day.

The firm helped finish the hospital garden with a special water feature.

Sister Meg Davey, occupational therapist for Burnley Health Care Trust, said: "The garden has been designed to be accessible for patients and so they can also maintain it.

"Gardening is a relaxing way of developing a range of movement and gives a general sense of well-being. This can only help the rehabilitation and independence of our patients."
