HTA supports Greenfingers charity with fundraising contribution

The Horticultural Trades Association (HTA) has proudly presented Greenfingers Charity with a cheque for £14,537.79. This impressive amount was raised through the National Garden Gift Card scheme, supplemented by dedicated fundraising efforts from the HTA team throughout the year. 

Jon Dixon, HTA Director of Gifting Sales, commented: 

“The HTA and National Garden Gift Card are pleased to support Greenfingers and their important mission. We hope this contribution helps them continue to create uplifting gardens that provide comfort and joy to children’s hospices across the UK.” 

As Greenfingers approaches its Silver Anniversary in 2025, the fundraising efforts of the industry are invaluable in supporting its work. Contributions like these ensure the charity can expand its reach, bringing the therapeutic benefits of beautiful, tranquil gardens to even more children, their families, and the hospice staff who care for them. 

Linda Petrons, Greenfingers Director of Fundraising and Communications, expressed her gratitude: 

“National Garden Gift Cards are truly the gift that keeps on giving. This initiative not only raises essential funds but also spreads awareness of our work in children’s hospices across the country. We are immensely grateful to the HTA for this generous donation, which will help bring more Greenfingers gardens to life in 2025.” 

Greenfingers Charity is dedicated to creating bespoke gardens in children’s hospices, offering life-limited children, their families, and carers a source of solace, inspiration, and connection through nature.
