It’s #floralfriday tomorrow, what will you be doing?

Greenfingers Charity would love to see as many people as possible spread a whole load of floral cheer tomorrow Friday (17th April) and are offering a prize going to the most inventive and creative picture posted on social media! 

 

For your chance to win £50 of National Gardening Gift Vouchers, here’s what you need to do…

 

On your favourite social media platforms simply:  

  • post a photo of yourself in your favourite floral shirt, dress, hat, shoes, tie, pjs or similar (or your favourite floral photo)
  • use the hashtags #floralfriday #hortindustry #greenfingers
  • nominate a friend to do the same
  • send this story on to your colleagues while they are “working at home”
  • add this story into your customer communications so that your customers can get involved by spreading a little floral cheer even if they’re unable to buy plants and garden supplies just now.

And PLEASE remember to give a thought too, to the thousands of life-limited children, families, nurses and the wider hospice communities who benefit from spending time in the many Greenfingers Charity gardens in children’s hospices right across the UK.  You and those you nominate can donate by:

 

Texting FLORALFRIDAY to 70085 to donate £5 or by

Texting FLORALFRIDAYTEN to 70085 to donate £10

 

Remember you can also send your #floralfriday photos to GTN Xtra (email trevor.pfeiffer@tgcmc.co.uk) so we can include them in our #floralfriday gallery at the weekend.  Here's a link to Good Fridays gallery.

 

PS. #floralfriday has gone global now too.  Our UK Greenfingers Charity initiative has been reported on in a worldwide article about industry messages of hope in Floral Daily: https://www.floraldaily.com/article/9208137/flower-industry-continues-to-deliver-messages-of-hope/
