Children's "Garden For Mum" Competition this weekend

I'm sooooo excited. I've just collected some entries for our Garden For Mum competition from a local school and they have gone over and above anything I could possibly have imagined. The beautiful miniature gardens have been made in simple seed trays. Children as young as 4 have submitted entries and they are fab, fab, fab!

Remember if you are taking part, the main drop off for entries is this Saturday (17th March) at St Bridget's Old Rydon Lane between 9am and 11am. Your entry will then be displayed for visitors to vote for a winner over the weekend.

PLEASE PLEASE can everyone who visits the garden centre this weekend dig deep into their pockets and donate some coins to your favourite garden entry. All the money donated will go to Greenfingers, the charity who make magical gardens for children's hospices. Additionally, the two gardens (one from the 7-13yr old category and one from the under 7s) who raise the most money will gardening goodies from us plus the school that raises the most money from their combined entries will win either £50 of plants or a tour around our nursery for one class. So by giving a little you will be making lots of children happy!

Entries can be collected from 3pm on Sunday 18th March and prizes will be announced at 4pm.

Watch this space for photos!
