Chance to kit out your garden for spring with charity raffle

Come and help raise money for the children’s charity, Greenfingers, which builds gardens at children’s hospices across the UK, by entering our Garden Re-Leaf Day raffle.

Garden Re-Leaf Day is a fantastic initiative to mark the start of the spring gardening season. As members of the Garden Centre Association (GCA) we are encouraged to get involved as one of the main aims of the day is to raise money for Greenfingers so we are thrilled to be the hosts of this raffle.

Raffle tickets, which cost £1, are available to purchase from us now and the winners will be drawn on Saturday, March 19. The winning tickets will be on display in-store and you will be encouraged to return to the store and see what you have won.

There are £1,500 worth of prizes for the winners to choose from, including an Alexander Rose garden bench worth £175 and a nest of oak tables worth £245 as well as crates of seeds, gardening tools and Sunday lunch or afternoon tea in our restaurant.

Linda Petrons, Head of Fundraising at Greenfingers, said: “We are thrilled that the garden centre is supporting Garden Re-Leaf Day and hope that customers will flock to it to support their raffle.

“The money raised really will make a huge difference and will help us continue creating magical and therapeutic gardens for children who spend time in hospices around the UK and their families.”

Since Greenfingers was established in 1999 it has completed 49 garden and outdoor spaces at children’s hospices across the UK.

Growers, plant breeders, retailers, manufacturers and a host of gardening journalists and celebrities have willingly contributed materials, time and expertise to create gardens at children’s hospices around the UK.
