And at Poplars Garden Centre they held their annual (in its third year) Garden Re-Leaf Quiz and Curry night in the restaurant on the evening of March 13th. They also had Colin Goodhand and his son Jack taking part in the Garden Re-Leaf Day bike ride. In total the two events raised over £2000 for Greenfingers.
