A thanksgiving service in memory of nursery pioneer Mike Dunnett, the former MD of Blakedown Nurseries, who died last month, takes place on Tuesday 16 April at 1.30pm at St Peters Church, Martley, Worcestershire (following a private family service at Wyre Forest Crematorium).

Family flowers only have been requested, but donations will be taken for St Richards Hospice and the industry’s Greenfingers charity.

A wake will be held at The Talbot Hotel, Knightwick, Worcestershire. Dress code – “whatever you are comfortable in”.
