Last year, Hillview Studley, Alton's, Squire’s, Blue Diamond Fryers (above) and Klondyke Byrkley Park Garden Centres created amazing publicity and raised loads of money using 24 Hour Plant-athon promotions.

Bob Hewitt, Chairman, Klondyke Group “Having taken part in the 24 hour Plant-athon in 2016, I urge garden retailers and suppliers to get involved in this huge opportunity to connect with staff and customers whilst raising significant funds for Greenfingers Charity.”

This year Bob Hewitt and teams across three Klondyke Group’s centres will be planting,; Alan Roper’s Blue Diamond team at Trentham Garden Centre, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffs will be planting through the night again; a relay team from Scotsdales Garden Centre, Great Shelford, Cambridgeshire; Andy Bunker and his team at Alton Garden Centre; Boyd’s teams across the Hillview centres and Orchard Park in Dorset are the latest to sign up, with more expected to follow between now and the 17th March.  But time is running out! 

So how about you? You can invite your customers, colleagues and friends to support you as you and your staff continuously plant up pots for 24 hours? Your local media will love the story and your customers will love buying your spring planted pots for charity.

If your garden centre is looking to register for Garden Re-Leaf Day, contact Linda at Greenfingers as soon as possible, by email linda@greenfingerscharity.org.uk or by calling the Greenfingers office on 01494 674749.
