The Great British Gardening ‘Greenfingers’ Quiz 2008!

Following the success and popularity of last year’s Greenfingers Quiz Competition, we are planning a similar event for 2008.

Byrkley Garden Centre is purchasing a quiz pack from the Garden Centre Association, all proceeds from which will be donated to the Greenfingers Charity. 

The Greenfingers Appeal is the charity of the gardening industry and is currently dedicated to the creation and improvement of the gardens at UK Children's Hospices.

Whilst generally the children are too ill to be actively involved, the grounds and gardens of a hospice play a vital role as a place of peace, solitude and calm, for parents, siblings, friends and relations. There are 39 Children's Hospices in the United Kingdom either running or being built. Each costs over £1.5 million a year to run and receives little government support. That's where we can and do, make a difference. The Hospices cannot afford to make gardens a priority for their precious funds. But, with your help, the Greenfingers Appeal can. 

The Greenfingers Appeal really does make a difference - every garden is different, and every garden is special.

We'll be hosting the Quiz on Thursday 8th May 2008 in the Garden Room at Byrkley Garden Centre, starting at 7.30 pm prompt. 
Refreshments will be available to purchase during the course of the evening, and we will once again be running a raffle with a chance to win some great prizes. 

You can enter your team of up to 4 people (or enter as many teams of 4 as you'd like!) at a cost of £12 per team. To enter, simply collect an application form from our Reception Desk next time you visit Byrkley Garden Centre.
