Thrive Battersea Garden Project's annual Flower Show

24/08/2007

The Thrive Battersea Garden Project's annual Flower Show is on Wednesday 10th October 2007, this year's autumnal theme is 'Harvest and Halloween'. The Show will be open to the public from 12.00pm to 3.00pm at the Events Arena in Battersea Park, London SW11.

The Flower Show gives Thrive gardeners, and disabled gardeners from other garden projects in the area, the opportunity to enter their work in a number of competition categories. Last year, the event attracted entries from 10 garden projects in and around London and more than 150 members of the public enjoyed the afternoon. In addition to the traditional Flower Show, there will be a cafe, a raffle, stalls selling quality produce and crafts, and the chance to buy plants grown by Thrive gardeners.

This year's Flower Show will also be an opportunity to find out more about Thrive's plans to redevelop the Battersea Garden Project. Thrive has recently launched a major fundraising campaign to support a two-year building and garden renovation programme. The new facilities will provide up-to-date teaching facilities and refurbished gardens for up to 90 Thrive gardeners, allowing us to work with three times as many people as we do today.
