The Evergreen Garden Care Team have been FUNdraising for Greenfingers Charity at Chelsea and with a day and a half still to go have raised over £6,000.

Their fundraising is taking place in the Great Pavilion with David Domoney and Evergreen Garden Care's Miracle-Gro: My Houseplant Changed My Life exhibit which was awarded a gold medal and the accolade of Best Discovery Zone exhibit.

David Domoney, commented “With many people working, schooling and stuck at home during lockdown, there's been a big increase in indoor growing indoors. This exhibit looks at the symbiotic relationship between humans and plants inside the home and the benefits of keeping those plants healthy. Each of the 50 varieties benefits humans in one form or another and this exhibit highlights and celebrates their personalities.

“We’re trying to raise awareness of the environment inside homes and offices, exploring the sustainable benefits that plants (and microorganisms in the soil of plants) have in detoxifying the air. It also raises the awareness of reducing aerosol use and other products that potentially have negative impacts on air quality and the environment. The exhibit reviews extensive studies on the power of plants to detoxify air & produce fresh oxygen, including many scientific bodies and the original NASA experiments.”
