Garden Re-Leaf Day 2020 is a FUNdraising success

Over 100 walkers and cyclists took part in the Greenfingers Garden Re-Leaf Day Charity Walk and Cycle Ride in Chilton, Oxfordshire on Friday 13th March 2020.

Huge thanks to headline sponsor: British Garden Centres who hosted the event at their Chilton Garden Centre.

And at Poplars Garden Centre they held their annual (in its third year) Garden Re-Leaf Quiz and Curry night in the restaurant on the evening of March 13th. They also had Colin Goodhand and his son Jack taking part in the Garden Re-Leaf Day bike ride. In total the two events raised over £2000 for Greenfingers.
