During these challenging days of lockdown, social distancing and isolation, Greenfingers Charity and friends would like your help this Friday (1st May) to bring a little bit of floral sunshine to social media.
#FloralFriday, now in its fifth week, has seen friends from across the gardening industry, garden lovers and many others post their favourite floral photos, videos and #FloralFriday selfies on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn.
Whether you have, or have not, joined in before, National Gardening Week is the perfect time to dust down your floral shirt, jacket, tie, dress or shoes, get creative, join in the fun and show the nation that spending time in the garden is good for the heart, body and soul.
To get involved, simply…
- Post a selfie wearing your favourite floral shirt, dress, hat, shoes, tie, pjs or similar or favourite floral image
- Use the hashtags #floralfriday #hortindustry #greenfingers
- Tag Greenfingers Charity
- If you can, donate by
Texting FLORALFRIDAY to 70085 to donate £5 or FLORALFRIDAYTEN to 70085 to donate £10
- nominate a friend to do the same
Speaking about #FloralFriday, Linda Petrons, Director of Fundraising and Communications said: “We launched this campaign at the beginning of April with three aims: to keep the Greenfingers Charity brand alive, raise awareness of the issues being faced by so many friends in the gardening industry and of course to spread a little floral cheer during these difficult times. We are enormously grateful to all those who have taken part and/or have donated so far. We are loving seeing your posts and are hugely grateful for your donations. It is only thanks to your continued support that we can continue make a very real difference to children and families when life begins to return to what will surely be a new normal.”
