Lots of schoolchildren from across the country have already signed up for a national fundraising initiative organised by Honda (UK) and the charity Greenfingers. The pupils will take part in the ‘Get Gardening for Greenfingers’ fundraising campaign in March 2012 and the organisers are calling for more schools to join in.
Pupils are sponsored to do a variety of small gardening jobs for friends and family during the week. They could sow seeds, tidy up leaves or compost kitchen scraps. The challenge is to complete 10 small tasks for £1 each. Get Gardening for Greenfingers aims to raise a minimum of £15,000 for the first ever ‘Magical Play Garden’ funded by schoolchildren. Greenfingers will build the garden at a chosen children’s hospice in the UK. The initiative will also promote gardening in schools and raise awareness of safety in the garden.
To join in with Get Gardening for Greenfingers, please call Greenfingers on 01494 674749 or email . The charity will need to know who will co-ordinate the activity in each school, the number of children taking part and in which years and whether the school would like to organise a ‘Stay Safe in Your Garden’ talk from a participating Honda Lawn and Garden Dealer.
