TGCG launch war tribute theme seeds
 
The Garden Centre Group have launched red, white, and blue themed seed packets commemorating the 100thanniversary of the Great War.

 ‘Flying the Flag’ sweet pea and ‘Per Ardua ad Astra’ cornflower packets contains a mixture of seeds for red, white, and blue flowers, the colours of the Royal Air Force roundel.

TGCG will donate 50p from the sale of every packet sold to the RAF Benevolent Fund, the RAF’s leading welfare charity. Air Cadets are helping to pack bags at the group’s garden centres.

The seed packets also highlight the upcoming Kenley Air Show 2015, commemorating the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain and in aid of the RAF Benevolent Fund.

The RAF Benevolent Fund is encouraging gardeners to share images of their RAF-themed flowers (either growing or cut) via social media using: @RAFBF #FlowerPower.
