Garden centres are gearing up for a busy time in March with two massive events tempting consumers into stores – Garden Re-Leaf Day (8th) and Mother’s Day (10th).
This is a prime time to entice gardeners and their loved ones into garden centres, and an ideal opportunity to get the growing season off to a flier.
Interest from garden centres across the UK in Garden Re-Leaf Day is gathering momentum. Hundreds of stores will be hosting special events to get the nation gardening again after the winter months – whilst raising money for inspirational gardening charity Greenfingers.
One of the most popular events is the Celebrity Gardening Quiz which is being held by around 100 garden centres across the country. Often combined with additional fundraisers such as coffee mornings, fish and chip suppers and gardening demonstrations, the quiz features questions specially set and recorded by TV and radio gardeners including David Domoney, Christine Walkden, Joe Swift, Toby Buckland, Pippa Greenwood, Matthew Biggs, Peter Seabrook and Bob Flowerdew.
The celebrity questions are recorded and produced on a CD by Garden Radio.
Whitehall Garden Centre are running the quiz and having a special 2 course meal in their restaurant that evening for £9.99 per person with £2.50 of that price going to Greenfingers.
Other Celebrity Garden Re-Leaf Quizzes are taking place at: Alton Garden Centre, Fairweathers, Burleydam, Simpsons, Ruxley Manor, Littleheath, The Lakes, Millbrook, Studley, Hilltop, Aylett Nurseries, Cadbury Garden & Leisure, Endsleigh Garden & Leisure.
