A new website has been launched that allows garden centres to publicise their Greenfingers Garden Re-Leaf Day events to customers, local and national press and a much wider audience via social media.

Hundreds of garden retailers are expected to participate in the fourth annual Greenfingers Garden Re-Leaf Day, which takes place on 27 March 2015 to help boost the early spring sales season, whilst raising funds for Greenfingers, the charity dedicated to creating gardens in UK children’s hospices.

Garden centres who register on the website can take advantage of free publicity for their events, by filling in a form online at www.gardenreleaf.co.uk/register-an-event.

Once registered, listed events searchable by area. Early registration on the site will also mean events can be publicised by the central Greenfingers Garden Re-Leaf Day communications team, bringing industry wide recognition to individual garden centres’ fundraising plans.

Garden Re-Leaf Day founder and Greenfingers trustee Boyd Douglas-Davies, CEO of Hillview Garden Centres, is enthusiastic about the new website: “This is a fantastic opportunity for all garden retailers, especially those looking to ensure the best promotion of their fantastic Garden Re-Leaf Day events which is so important to the success of the day, “ he said. “In just five minutes, you can fill in our online form, effortlessly setting the promotional ball rolling, putting yourself in front of customers, local people and the media.”

The website features news, galleries of events from previous years and information on how the money raised is spent, including images of Greenfingers children’s hospice gardens which have already benefited from Garden Re-Leaf Day fundraising.

Event ideas already on the cards include hosting the popular Greenfingers Garden Re-leaf Day Gardening Quiz, getting involved with the Loose Change promotion, simple yet unique ways to put on your own sponsored cycle ride and fun family day activities such as making cress heads and sowing sunflowers (the Home Garden Association’s plant of the year for 2015).
