A MIDDLESBROUGH garden centre is helping the University Hospital of North Tees raise funds for a garden at the haematology ward.

The garden is the idea of Chloe and Jake Costello, from Stockton. Their father, David, was treated for leukaemia in the ward but lost his battle with the disease in 2004.

Cherry Hill Garden Centre has organised a raffle with a prize of £200 worth of garden furniture. Tickets are available from the centre or from Sister Sheila Bruce on the haematology ward.
