Garden Re-Leaf Day provides FUNdraising and sales opportunities before the snow

A sunny day, you'd almost think it was spring, greeted nearly 100 Greenfingers Charity supporters at Wyevale Worlds End on Friday for the fourth annual Garden Re-Leaf Day sponsored walk and first ever sponsored cycle ride.

 

This year 70 people took part in The Great Garden Re-Leaf Day event, some taking the 10 mile walking route, some the 20 mile route and a group of cyclists completed up to 100 miles on the day riding a 25 mile lap.

 

Wyevale Worlds End Garden Centre hosted this years event providing food and drinks for the walkers, riders and supporters during the day.  Huge thanks to all of the Wyevale team for making the day so enjoyable.

 

As you'll see from our gallery of photos below the walkers had to endure very muddy conditions along the Chiltern footpaths but all arrived back safely and in good spirits on their way to the day raising an expected £75,000 for Greenfingers.

 

By the evening as the last walkers and riders were returning the planteria staff at Worlds End were fleecing up their plant benches ahead of the expected weather we've ahd to endure again this weekend.

 

Thank goodness the sun shone once again on Garden Re-Leaf Day.
