SUNNYSIDE Garden Centre has given back to the community by generously offering free plants and landscaping services to transform Kilwinning War Memorial.

Owner and landscape gardener Terry McLellan was delivering pots to graves at Kilwinning Cemetery when he noticed the Kilwinning War Memorial needed a refresh.

Aware of the impact of budget cuts, he contacted The Royal British Legion Kilwinning branch to offer his services - and Sunnyside's plants.

With his help, Sunnyside transformed the space as a way to give back to the local community and honour the fallen soldiers, including the friends McLellan's own father fought alongside in the war.

A spokesperson for Sunnyside said: "Recently, we've been working on an important project at Kilwinning War Memorial by the cemetery to give back to our local community.

"Sunnyside's Terry Mac reached out to the Royal British Legion to ask if Sunnyside could provide fresh plants and our landscaping skills to honour our fallen soldiers.

"During this turbulent time in the UK, we at Sunnyside will never forget the sacrifice made by brave soldiers to protect our existence here in Scotland."

Well done to Terry and the nursery team for their amazing efforts.
