National Garden Gift Vouchers has launched a new Gardening Hero scheme to recognise supporters of community gardening within the industry.
The new initiative praises the people within horticulture who go above and beyond to support local community gardening or gardening good causes.
To thank our gardening Heros, National Garden Gift Vouchers is rewarding them with a £50 National Garden Gift Voucher gift card and honouring them with a Gardening Hero badge to wear at work with pride.
Who is a Gardening Hero?
A Gardening Hero is the colleague who excels in their role because they bring their love of gardening to their work. A Gardening Hero is the employee who continues their passion for gardening outside of their work by volunteering in a school gardening project. A Gardening Hero team is a group of people who support a gardening charity, for example.
Andreea Robertson from Garden Wise Plant and Garden Centre, Dumfries, is our latest Gardening Hero.
Andreea is passionate about plants, especially houseplants and she goes above and beyond in her role at Garden Wise. She has encouraged the younger demographic to get involved in her displays at the centre and shows them how they can use her creative arrangements in their homes. Above all when she sells a plant to a customer it’s her smile, radiance and passion for her house plant area that makes her a true gardening hero.
