Greenfingers Charity’s #floralfriday continues to bring a little floral cheer to the nation

The third #floralfriday (Friday 17th April 2020) saw floral creations galore as garden lovers, young and old, once again donned their favourite floral attire or shared floral pictures across social media. 

 

The prize for last week’s most creative post went to amateur gardener Tim Howell who put the FUN into FUNdraising by sharing his fabulous array of floral shirts on Instagram.

 

Tim was closely followed by the wonderful Adam Taylor who was affectionately named by colleagues as the industry’s #daftboss!

 

During these challenging days of isolation and social distancing, Greenfingers Charity would love to see many others spread a little bit of floral cheer on Friday (24th April) and are once again offering a prize to the most inventive and creative picture or video posted on social media! 

 

For your chance to win £50 worth of National Gardening Gift Vouchers, here is what you need to do…

 

On your favourite social media platforms simply:  

  • post a photo of yourself in your favourite floral shirt, dress, hat, shoes, tie, pjs or similar (or your favourite floral photo)
  • use the hashtags #floralfriday #hortindustry #greenfingers
  • nominate your boss, a friend or colleague whether working from home or at work to do the same
  • add this story into your customer communications so that your customers can get involved by spreading a little floral cheer

You and those you nominate can make a donation to support the work of Greenfingers Charity by:

Texting FLORALFRIDAY to 70085 to donate £5 or by
