Perennial

“More and more people working in horticulture find themselves needing our help. In an industry that is typically low paid and suffers from a high rate of workplace injury, it’s no wonder that many are struggling to make ends meet. Whilst we are proud that our help is making a difference to a growing number, we’d like to increase that number even more this year. In order to safeguard our services for those who need them, we are looking for support to help us raise an additional £175,000 during our 175^th anniversary year.”
