For almost two years, Pete, 80, who lives in Street, has personally cared for the home's garden and window boxes, a dedication that made local headlines. Inspired by his efforts, his former employer, Dairy Crest, now part of Saputo Dairy UK Limited, has sent Pete £100 in vouchers for his local Dobbies Garden Centre to spend as he wishes.

“Pete was a long-standing employee of Dairy Crest, and we wanted to celebrate his dedication to creating a beautiful and comforting environment for Pat,” said a spokesperson from Saputo. “His commitment to his wife and his impressive gardening skills are truly inspiring, and we are proud to support his efforts.”
