Greenfingers Charity is once again grateful to all those joining the fun of #FloralFriday by sharing their floral photos on social media every Friday and helping to ensure the charity remains in the hearts and minds of the industry as well as the gardening public.
A regular supporter of the initiative, Adam Taylor, once again brought a little creative floral cheer to social media platforms last Friday (12th June) as his lockdown thoughts took him back to Star Wars – is lockdown getting to Adam! Alongside his post, he said “So here we have Allium Giganteum AKA “The Princess Leia Allium”.
Speaking about #FloralFriday, Adam said “This initiative has been a lovely distraction during some lonely hours on site and timed really well with the availability of flowers on our trial plot. We hope that our help, and that of others, broadcasting the Greenfingers message will help to ensure the charity is able to continue valuable work in children’s hospices right across the country.”
As this week is British Flowers Week, a national celebration of the wealth and variety of British cut flowers, plants and foliage, Greenfingers Charity invites you to join the fun of #FloralFriday this Friday (19th June), by posting photos of your favourite British flowers or dressed in your favourite floral British attire – a great way to celebrate the fantastic work that is being done by our British growers, seed suppliers and designers and at the same time ensuring the work of the charity continues into 2021 and beyond.
Here’s what you need to do…
- Post a floral ‘selfie’ or a photo of your favourite British Flower on social media
- Use the hashtags #FloralFriday #HortIndustry #BritishFlowersWeek
- Tag @GreenfingersCharity
- If you can, make a donation to support the work of Greenfingers Charity by texting FLORALFRIDAY to 70085 to donate £5 or FLORALFRIDAYTEN to 70085 to donate £10.
- Nominate a friend(s) to do the same
Why support #FloralFriday?
There is no doubt that the benefits of gardening and spending time outside in the fresh air are being felt by children and families more than ever as we continue to navigate through a world in lockdown. Whilst this additional engagement with gardening can only be good for our industry, this message is also vitally important for Greenfingers Charity as it faces a very challenging road ahead.
