GARDENA recently became Silver Supporters of Greenfingers Charity, raising over £4,200 with a day of fundraising.

The GARDENA UK team recently took part in ‘Go Green for Greenfingers’, participating in a series of fundraising activities throughout the day, to raise money for the UK-based initiative Greenfingers, that create beautiful outdoor spaces to support children and families in children’s hospices.

Activities included a staff sale on a selection of GARDENA watering and gardening tools, Flymo lawnmowers and trimmers and McCulloch petrol handled products. The team also organised a raffle for a chance to win two robotic lawnmowers, a selection of gardening goodies and more. Staff also completed a Greenfingers garden Re-leaf walk to show their support.

Greenfingers Charity’s mission is to create precious green spaces in children’s hospices across the UK, as a place for children and their families to enjoy the outdoors and connect with nature. Due to the teams’ efforts, GARDENA UK have become official Silver Supporters of the charity, and have committed to continue raising funds for Greenfingers Charity over the next 2 years.

Greenfingers Charity is managed by a team of passionate individuals who are committed to their belief that spending time outdoors, can provide opportunities for children and families facing considerable stress to engage with the natural environment. GARDENA’s support will help Greenfingers to continue its vital work of providing much needed respite for children and families in need.

Sarah Bentham, UK Marketing Manager at GARDENA, said “It was fantastic to see our staff come together to support such a worthy cause, raising a significant amount of money to contribute to the future of Greenfingers and its ongoing efforts to create more magical spaces for children.

“The charity’s work aligns nicely with GARDENA’s brand values, that put caring for the planet and its people at its core.”
