VOLUNTEER gardeners at York’s St Leonard’s Hospice are getting help from the hospice mascot Lenny Bear as they prepare for a fundraising plant sale next month.
The gardeners have been busy planting and potting in readiness for the event on Sunday, May 19. They are asking all their green-fingered supporters to help St Leonard’s by potting up extra plants to donate to the hospice.
Judy Wilson, events fundraiser, said: “If you have planted more than you need – perhaps to try to compensate for the lateness of spring this year – you may have a few spare.
“If so, we’d be very grateful to have them. Plants of all types – bedding plants, vegetable plants, small bushes – are welcome, and they will help us raise money for the hospice. If you have plants to offer, please phone us on 01904 777777”.
The sale will be held at the hospice in Tadcaster Road in York, opposite the Askham Bar Park and Ride from 11am to 2pm.
