Thrive at Hampton Court Palace Flower Show 2008

07/07/2008

Come along to Hampton Court Flower Show this week (8 – 13 July 2008) and hear more about how the power of gardening can change lives. We're delighted to be exhibiting at the Show for the first time and talking to visitors about Thrive and how gardening can be beneficial to your health and well being.

We have a stand in the Daily Mail Pavilion where we will selling Cistus 'Thrive', an evergreen shrub with brilliant white flowers, and a special Thrive gardening apron which has large pockets to keep tools within easy reach.

We will also be telling Show visitors about our work with RNIB on stand A/40 near the Festival of Roses and Thames Gate entrance. As well as explaining more about our work with blind and partially sighted gardeners, we are launching a new CD Keeping the Garden Gate Open which has inspirational stories from people who have continued gardening despite sight loss.

Our week at Hampton Court Palace Flower Show follows the Charity Gala on Monday 7 July, when we benefited from the proceeds with the RHS and RNIB.

If you would like to know more about our new CD, which is available in standard audio format or as a Daisy CD, please call us on 0118 988 5688 or contact us.
