Green-fingered supporters of York’s St Leonard’s Hospice will have an extra reason to smile at the hospice’s plant sale and afternoon tea on Sunday, May 22, thanks to the support of Brown’s Nursery, in Wigginton.

Owners Chris and John Brown are helping St Leonard’s as part of the hospice’s annual sale of plants. As well as the contribution from Brown’s Nursery, the hospice is supported by other keen local gardeners who donated plants for the event.

The hospice’s team of volunteer gardeners, who help to keep the grounds of the Hospice on Tadcaster Road looking beautiful, are also busy growing for the event, which runs from 11am to 3pm. Entry is free.

The hospice would welcome offers of plants for the sale. If you are able to help, phone the hospice fundraising office on 01904 777777.
