The Royal Ulster Agricultural Society’s Horticulture Committee has presented a cheque for £3,500 to Matthew Lee and Fiona Chamberlain on behalf of Horatio’s Garden Northern Ireland, Belfast.

The money was raised at this year's Balmoral Show through the generous support of visitors who purchased vegetable transplants and flowers, kindly donated by the Gabbie family of John Gabbie & Sons, with support from Gilfresh and Greenisland Flowers.

Horatio’s Garden improves the lives of people with life-changing spinal injuries by creating and expertly staffing beautiful gardens in NHS rehabilitation centres.
