b"G R E E N F I N G E R SSHARINGTHE LOVEHaving been on the Board of Greenfingers for sevenyears, I have many clients who now support thecharitys aims of raising funds to design and creategardens in children's hospices, so that children andtheir families and friends can create lifelongmemories outside the hospital ward. One such couple left their amazing collection ofstatues and sculptures to Greenfingers and so I wasthrilled when Chelsea Gold Medalist Tom Hoblyn,choose to use one of the pieces at Haven House,where he had designed a wheelchair friendlygarden embracing Epping Forest that forms part ofthe grounds of Haven House Children's Hospice.And we shared the love of gardening still furtherwith Sophie and I offering a day sowing a variety ofcut flower and vegetables to some clients in returnfor a generous donation to Greenfingers.Fuelled with home made chocolate brownies overthe day, the groups confidence grew enormously,helped later by a whats app group which sharedfollow up hints and tips as the seedlings grew, Rob, Tom and board members Richard Claxton & Richard Capewellproducing a fabulous crop of tomatoes, courgettesand cosmos to name but a few, during the summer.thomashoblyn.comgreenfingerscharity.org.ukA N D F I N A L L Y . . .The stunning gardens that we create can only bedone as part of an extended team.
