A BIRCHWOOD based company is celebrating following its sponsorship of an award-winning garden project that has helped drug users on the path to rehabilitation.

Health care company Altrix, based on Garrett Field, sponsored the 'Choose Life' garden, which won a silver award from the Royal Horticultural Society at the Tatton Park Flower Show for its design.

Its theme of the experiences faced by recovering drug users was made all the more significant as it was created by people undergoing treatment themselves.

The two areas of the garden are joined by two paths - one a ladder representing the way forward, and the second a snake path to show the ongoing temptation recovering addicts must overcome.
