Garden Re-Leaf Day has arrived and the UK's garden industry is out in force raising valuable money for Greenfingers...

Two big events on Garden Re-Leaf Day are the Sponsored Walks and Cycle Challenge.

Two walking groups took to the roads and byways with a 10 or 20 mile ‘south’ walk, whilst in the north walkers tackled a 13-mile route. 

Zooming by the south walkers were a host of cycling enthusiasts, taking anywhere from 25 to 100 miles. All routes took in stunning countryside, with south walkers enjoying the vistas of Hertfordshire, whilst north walkers basked in ‘Last of the Summer Wine’ scenery of West Yorkshire.

This year, over 70 people joined the south walk start line, including British Garden Centes,  Vitavia Greenhouses, Glee, Woodmansterne, GIMA, Extreme Lounging, Hornby George PR, Tring Garden Centre (who are kindly providing the backdrop to the South Walk!), Blue Diamond, Evergreen Garden Care, Husqvarana/Gardena, Woodlodge, KSB Consultancy, Cadix UK Ltd, Johnsons Lawn Seed, Leon Boots, Durstons, Garden Trade News, plus friends Matthew, Jodie, Kirsty and James Rowlandson and Greenfingers Trustee Richard Claxton.  

In the north, walkers include Sipcam, The HTA, AMES Companies, Deco-Pak, STV International, Meadow View Stone, Supremo, @Husqvarna/Gardena, The Groovy Gardener, and Centurion Europe/Mulch, all thanks to event organiser, Jane Lawler and her support team, William Armitage and Jenny Douthwaite.

This year pedal power came from teams at Tamar Nurseries and Hartwell Nurseries, as well as Casey Warwick from Decco, Taylor Bulb’s Ian Clark, Steve Desombre of British Garden Centres, Simon Mulholland and Antony Fitter from Westland.
