Thrilled to share the tremendous success of its recent fiery fundraiser, Perennial, the UK’s charity dedicated to supporting those who work with plants, trees, flowers, or grass held this remarkable gathering on October 26 at York Gate, one of Perennial’s wonderful gardens based in Leeds.
The event brought together garden enthusiasts and industry professionals, raising just over £4,200 for Perennial. This significant contribution will help the charity continue its essential work in providing support to those in the horticulture community during times of need.
Peter Newman, Perennial’s most recent Chief Executive, actively participated in the event, hot stepping over the burning coals three times, marking it as his final engagement before his retirement in early November.
Perennial would like to extend a huge thank you to everyone who took part in the event, which saw head gardeners, trade associations and volunteers all coming together and supporting Perennial through participation, attendance, and generous donations. Their support has been vital in enabling Perennial to continue offering a lifeline to those who dedicate their lives to the world of horticulture.
As a charity, they rely on the support of all those in the horticultural industry and from all those who enjoy the benefits of their hard work. Fundraising is a fantastic way of supporting what they do. For more information and fundraising initiatives please visit perennial.org.uk/getinvolved
