Thank you for bringing a little floral cheer on #FloralFriday!

Once again, many friends and supporters of Greenfingers Charity joined the fun of #FloralFriday by sharing their floral photos on social media to celebrate what is now becoming a regular feature in the calendar.  And last week (Friday 29th May), in recognition of National Children’s Gardening Week, many parents and grandparents proudly showed off photos of their littlies whilst Little Havens Children’s Hospice told us how their Greenfingers garden is supporting children in crisis. 

 

Speaking on behalf of the charity, Trustee Boyd Douglas-Davies said: “We all know it’s a really challenging time for our industry so thank you so much for getting right behind this campaign.  As well as keeping the charity and industry very much in the hearts and minds of garden lovers, thanks to your support #FloralFriday has so far raised a phenomenal £1,000 for Greenfingers.  So, let’s keep it going - it’s only together that we can continue to make a difference to those very many children and families who sadly need to use hospices across the UK”. 

 

To join the fun of #FloralFriday this Friday (5th June) you should know what to do by now…

  • Put on your favourite floral outfit and post a selfie or your favourite floral photo on social media
  • Use the hashtags #FloralFriday #HortIndustry
  • Tag @GreenfingersCharity  
  • If you can, make a donation to support the work of Greenfingers Charity by texting FLORALFRIDAY to 70085 to donate £5
  • 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 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 challenging road ahead.
