More than £1,900 was raised for gardening-for-health charity Thrive at the Europlants Open Day.
With Thrive ambassador David Domoney hosting the lunch during the event, a total of £1,913 was collected from visitors through a raffle and auction, with a giant Italian Easter Egg going for £110.
Established 40 years ago, Thrive specialises in using therapeutic horticulture to improve people's lives. The charity has three centres in Birmingham, London and near Reading where hundreds of client gardeners visit to take part in its programmes.
Thrive also promotes the health and wellbeing benefits of gardening to the wider population, through campaigns like ‘It's Not Just Gardening’ campaign in April 2019.
The charity’s Horticultural Therapists work with a wide range of client gardeners including people with physical disabilities, learning disabilities, autism, long-term illness and those with poor mental health.
