Kershaws celebrate 150 years
Kershaws of Brighouse celebrated 150 years at the start of August with a birthday weekend to raise money for Overgate Hospice, Elland.

There were some very special offers, priced at £18.64 and £150.

Manager Mark Yates said: "We really did have lots of fun.  We pride ourselves on our plants and friendly service often sidelined today by the large multiple garden centres."

“Over several generations of growing we have learnt a thing or two about plants and so we can solve most gardening problems quickly and simply, whether you are a Kershaw’s customer or not."

“We are proud supporters of local events: we sponsor schools for Yorkshire in Bloom and are the main sponsor of the world famous marching band contest held every July in the town centre.”

Stars such as Ant and Dec, Homer Simpson, Harry from One Direction and Bill Oddie were lined up for the birthday party, however they didn't return the calls so life-size cardboard cut outs were installed for visitors to pose with for photos.  The donkeys were real from Blackpool beach.

And the garden centre’s mascot Oggie the dinosaur was given a special makeover by Danielle Whitaker, a fine art student at Leeds College of Art.
