Save the date: The Greenfingers Floral Ball
Celebrating 25 years of magical hospice gardens

Mark the 26th June 2025 in your diaries now, as you will not want to miss the Greenfingers Charity’s Floral Ball, a truly special event to mark the charity’s 25th anniversary.

 

This exclusive event will bring together many friends and special guests of Greenfingers for a glittering celebration of the charity’s achievements, made possible thanks to all those who have supported its work for the last 25 years.  

 

In this time, Greenfingers has created almost 70 gardens in children’s hospices the length and breadth of the country, gardens that have played a hugely important role in the lives of thousands of life-limited children and their families. From providing vital access to nature and the great outdoors to places of memorial and remembrance, a Greenfingers garden is so much more than grass and plants. It’s the heart of the hospice, a treasure trove of memories and a place where the children can be children.

 

The venue for this very special occasion is the stunning Coombe Abbey, a 12th Century historic hotel set in the Warwickshire Countryside.   

 

Speaking about the event, Greenfingers Chair Elect, Boyd Douglas-Davies, said: “When I think back to the initial launch of the charity it is wonderful to reflect on how much it has achieved. This celebration, and it will be a great celebration, of all the supporters and gardens will also be the perfect launch pad for the next 25 years. I hope to see you there on June 26th 2025!”

 

More details about the Greenfingers Floral Ball will be shared over the coming months, including the many ways you can support the event and put your brand in front of guests and in the spotlight.

 

The Greenfingers team hope you will mark the date in your diary and look forward to you joining them next year.
