Spring has arrived,

Even dogs enjoy looking around St Bridgets garden centres with their owners.

Every day there is something else coming into flower at this time of year.

Magnolias, Camellias, Flowering cherries (Prunus) right down to small early flowering alpines.

Every time you visit you will find something that will tempt you, mostly grown on our own nursery in Exeter.

The children's charity competition didn't disappoint. The gardens raised £62.90 from voting donations which brings our grand total for Greenfingers (making magical gardens for children's hospices) to £146! Thank you to everyone who donated.
The winner of the under 7s was Tom Beynon (age 6) with his lovely traditional garden complete with bench and duck pond. The winner of the 7-13 yr old category was Naomi Sinclair (age 11) with her Easter inspired garden. Well done you two and also to the other children who put so much work in. The school prize went to St Peter's Prep in Lympstone who raised the most money from their collective entries, they win either a tour around our nursery or £50 of plants.
Thank you again to everyone who took part - you're all stars!

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.
