This Week’s Guest Blog is about the Fundraising of our Fabulous Charity, focusing on our Open Garden and Plant Fair on Wednesday 27th April 2022
Last Year we awarded nearly £58,000 in grants and helped over 1200 beneficiaries, so fundraising each year is very important. Please consider supporting us. There a number of ways you can help.
This years’ Open Garden and Plant Sale at is being held at Old Place Farm, High Halden, Kent on Wednesday 27th April from 10am to 3pm. It is a 4 acre garden around a Tudor Farmhouse which is not normally open to the public. Entrance is £7, homemade lunch is £10 or you can buy tickets online where you will receive a discounted price – entrance ticket and lunch for £15. There will be fantastic nurseries selling loads of super plants.
Other fundraising garden visits and talks take place from time to time so please check our website regularly.
We are always looking for other fundraising ideas perhaps help us by having a collection instead of receiving presents for a birthday or wedding anniversary for example.
We run our charity on a shoestring and our accounts are available for scrutiny on the charity commission website just like all other registered charities so you can see how wisely we spend peoples donations.
Our fundraising book ‘Cuttings’ A Cornucopia of Gardening tips from famous, expert and green-fingered friends has raised over £18,000 and is now on its third reprint.
We are looking for people to stock the book in garden centres, gift shops , cafes etc.
Please consider helping us to help raise more money to help more people get back into their gardens gardening again. We look forward to hearing from you
