A hidden garden created by a couple as a haven for special needed children received an important visitor last week.
Little Eden was created by Dawn and Glenn Harvey in their back garden after their son, Tate, was born six years ago with Down's Syndrome, a hole in his heart and talipes which means he cannot walk.

On Friday Tom Brake the MP for Carshalton and Wallington visited the garden which has a heated swimming pool, a tree house, slides and an artificial garden.
Mrs Harvey opens the garden every Monday and Friday from 2pm to 6pm for children with special needs.
The garden, which also operates as a support network for parents, is free but there is a charity box with every penny going towards the garden’s upkeep and food for the youngsters.
