Over 230 garden centres are already shouting about their Garden Re-Leaf Day activities! Some of them start tonight and run on Garden Re-Leaf day tomorrow, through the weekend and into next week.
There's still time for the rest of the industry, be they supplier or retailer, to get involved, so come, let's shout about the start of the season and motivate your staff ahead of the expected sales bonanza, have some fun and raise money for Greenfingers. As an industry we can build even more wonderful gardens for children's hospices, thanks to activities on Garden Re-Leaf Day 2014
The easiest way to get involved is to take part on Garden Re-Leaf Day Celebrity Quiz. This year the quiz is presented by a host of big name celebrities. It is professionally produced and takes just about an hour to run through with a mix of gardening and gardening realeted general knowledge questions.
Garden centres are using it to create a customer event, Barton Grange in Preston currently has 35 teams signed up for their quiz night but suppliers can also use it as a Garden Re-Leaf Day staff event.
Lets see how many how many gardening related company staff rooms and canteens we can get taking part.
All you have to do is 'buy' - which is a donation to Garden ReLeaf day - your Garden Re-Leaf pack for £100 and then download the mp3 files and the instructions to play on itunes, windows media player or burn to a cd.
If you are able to raise any extra money for Garden Re-Leaf day that's great too but just buying your quiz you'll be doing your bit. All of your £100 goes to Garden Re-Leaf Day and Greenfingers.
