Say “Thank You” to our NHS with bedding plants!
 

Bruce Harnett of Kernock Park Plants contacted GTN Xtra this week with details of bedding plant packages they have created for large NHS "Thank You" displays.

 

"Many of us", says Bruce, "are taking the time to thank our NHS and the keyworkers, battling against the devastating effects of the Corona virus, saving many thousands of lives each week. What better way to express our gratitude, than to create a living “Thank You”? You could have an InstaPlant® carpet bed made to order and ready to deliver in June.

 

"What’s more, for each confirmation of these NHS displays, we will donate 5% of the proceeds to NHS charities which specifically raise money for enhancing hospital environment and help champion key projects that supplement patient care and experience in NHS trusts across the nation.

 

"Want a design, but not sure where to start? Well, we have put together five creative designs to choose from. These could be manipulated to fit almost any size, with the ability to add text or change colours to suit your preferences. Prices are indicated for the sizes shown. All designs can be produced in colourful annual carpet bedding plants. Anybody wishing to use one of our design templates with minimal alterations will receive an InstaPlant® at the discounted price shown:

 

Carpet Bedding NHS Rainbow
Size: 5m wide x 2.5m deep
Coverage: 12.5m2
Price: £1785 + VAT

 

Carpet Bedding NHS Rectangle logo
Size: 5m wide x 3m deep
Coverage: 15m2
Price: £2125 + VAT

 

Carpet Bedding NHS Heart
Size: 3m wide x 3m deep
Coverage: 9m2
Price: £1315 + VAT

 

Carpet Bedding NHS Rainbow Full Circle
Size: 4m diameter circle
Coverage: 13m2
Price: £2050 + VAT

 

Carpet Bedding NHS Rainbow with Thank You
Size: 5m wide x 3m deep
Coverage: 15m2
Price: £2125 + VAT

 

"All you require to be able to accept one of these lovely designs, is an area to lay the display (preferably on a slope for all to see), normally a minimum of 3 metres across to achieve the desired effect. The surface will need to be cut and prepared, ready to receive our InstaPlant® carpet bed which will arrive in easy to install tiles of “carpet bedding” plants like a large, easy jigsaw! Once installed, some water and a little love will see it grow and flourish for the whole summer into early autumn.

 

"So, why not take a look at the gallery above, which includes five lovely designs, as well as some examples of finished displays to give you an idea of what to expect. Please let us know if you are interested, by contacting us soon as possible, be quick to order as we are going into production as we speak!

 

"Show your support by ordering a display. If you have your own ideas for a “Thank You” design or perhaps another event, we can help bring your idea to life!"

What a fantastic idea. I dont have a garden centre but we supply them with flood trays to save time, save water and save money.
Cant wait to see one of these in a centre soon!
Keep safe. Keep Clean. Keep Positive
