Thank you for going Floral on Thursday at Glee - still some raffle prizes to be claimed

Glee went Floral Thursday in support of Greenfingers Charity's special 20th anniversary year, The event, supported by Garden Trade News and Glee, saw exhibitors and visitors to Glee joining in the fun by wearing an array of floral clothing throughout the day.

 

All those taking part were asked to support the charity by buying a raffle ticket which was entered into a prize draw to win fabulous prizes. £1,420 was raised for Greenfingers thanks to Floral Thursday 2019.

 

GTN's Greatest Floral Team Award went to Evergreen Garden Care.

 

Greenfingers Ambassador Trevor Pfeiffer suggested the idea after getting so many positive comments while wearing floral shirts at Glee last year. “Every time I wear a floral shirt for work it makes people smile so if we can get as many people at Glee on Thursday wearing floral what a happy place it will be!”

 

Greenfingers Charity's Director of Fundraising & Communications, Linda Petrons said: "This is a fabulous new initiative which we hope will become a regular event in the Glee and Greenfingers Charity calendar.  We're hugely grateful to ITE and Garden Trade News for their support which will not only raise the profile of the charity but also help to make a difference to life limited children and their families who spend time in hospices."

 

The Grand Floral Thursday at Glee raffle was drawn by TV Celebrity David Domoney who joined in the floral fun.

 

The winners were....

 

Jenny Douthwaite (Primeur) - £100 Joe Brown's voucher

 

Dan Durston (Durstons) - Hozelock Tuff Hoze

Morris Hankinson (Hopes Grove Nurseries) - Prosecco

 

The other numbers still to be claimed are...
