#FloralFriday was a great reminder of RHS Chelsea

Once again Greenfingers Charity and friends shared their #FloralFriday photos on social media.  And last week, many used the occasion to celebrate days gone by at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show. 

 

Greenfingers Charity used #FloralFriday to say thank you to all those who make The Greenfingers Charity Garden at the 2019 show a great success.  The charity also shared a wonderful reminder that HRH The Queen visited their special celebratory garden. 

 

Although this year’s RHS Chelsea Flower Show was cancelled, it didn’t stop #FloralFriday regulars once again backing the social media campaign.  GTN, Hornby Whitefoot PR, Taylors Bulbs, Perrywood Garden Centre, British Garden Centres, LOFA, Glee, Barton Grange, Bridgman Furniture as well Ann-Marie Powell and David Domoney were amongst those who didn’t fail disappoint as they shared some of their wonderful memories of the world’s biggest and best loved Flower Show.

 

This Friday (29th May), as its National Children’s Gardening Week, Greenfingers Charity would love to see photos that reflect the great way that children and families are embracing time in the garden, particularly during these challenging lockdown times.   And this week, all images which include the hash tags #NationalChildrensGardeningWeek and #FloralFriday will be entered into a draw to win £100 National Garden Gift Vouchers.

 

Getting involved in this week’s #FloralFriday couldn’t be easier!

  • Post your favourite floral image or floral selfie social media.
  • Use the hashtags #FloralFriday #NationalChildrensGardeningWeek
  • Tag @GreenfingersCharity  
  • If you can, text FLORALFRIDAY to 70085 to donate £5 to Greenfingers Charity
  • Nominate a friend(s) to do the same

Why support #FloralFriday?

 

There is no doubt that the benefits of gardening and spending time outside in the fresh air are being felt more than ever as we continue to navigate w world in lockdown.  Whilst this additional engagement with gardening can only be good for our industry, this message is also vitally important for Greenfingers Charity as it faces a challenging road ahead. 

 

With a waiting list of hospices that need their help today, by joining the fun of #FloralFriday YOU will be helping to making difference to life-limited children and their families and helping to make these wonderful gardens a reality for those that need them the most. From a place to enjoy some fresh air, a place of quiet reflection or as a place to remember those lost, a Greenfingers garden plays many important roles.
