Planting, quizzing, afternoon tea, raffles, scarecrow competitions and many more activities have been happening this week as the gardening industry got right behind Greenfingers Garden Re-Leaf Day.   Here’s just a flavour of what’s been taking place.

Starting at the HTA headquarters in Theale,  33 intrepid walkers and two dogs challenged themselves to a 20 mile walk across the Berkshire countryside. 



Robbie Cumming of Horny Whitefoot PR took a step too far after the walk as he lept into the Avon and Kennet canal to give his fundraising a boost. 

Customers and staff were encouraged to support Garden Re-Leaf Day as Old Railway Line, Monkton Elm and Haskins Garden Centres had some fabulous prizes to be won. 

Staff at Coolings Garden Centre were sponsored to cycle from Buckingham Palace to Sandringham and didn’t even leave the building in their quest to reach their 220 mile target.

Gardman’s specially designed doormats and Briers gloves and kids tool set were being sold in many centres across the country with a donation from each product sold helping to make a difference.

MDs and CEOs and plant managers, along with very special planting guests and experts donned their gardening #gluvies and planted pots to upsell with a percentage from each sale going to Greenfingers.

And it’s not over yet there’s much more happening in Garden Centres as they gear up to kick start the gardening season, and led by Richard Jackson, Founder of Greenfingers Charity, QVC suppliers will be supporting Garden Re-Leaf Day on special shows this weekend.

However you have or are supporting Garden Re-Leaf Day, you will be helping Greenfingers to bring the precious gift of a garden to more children, and their families, who spend time in hospices right across the UK.
