Mrs Strange said: 'We were in York one day looking at all the beautiful hanging baskets and we were inspired to create our own.

Mrs Strange added: 'People think its great we get cards from people we have never even met.' 

Mr Strange who works for Tree Tops Forestry spends every weekend and evening seeing to the garden.

Dedication: Mr and Mrs Strange spend hundreds of pounds every year planting seeds and nurturing the blooms inside a greenhouse.

Mrs Strange said: 'I dread to think how much money goes on the garden but it definitely all adds up. 

'It is worth it though we are both very pleased with what we have created.' 

An irrigation system means the couple do not have to worry about the mammoth task of watering the flowers as it is done automatically.
