We use the donations we receive to buy plants for the tubs and for the Abbey Grounds. We also have to buy soil conditioner, plant food and other necessities for healthy happy plants.

In 2021 we have received donations from

Gardiner Haskins Superstore

Inner Wheel (Cirencester)

Rotary Club (Cirencester)

This year our plant sale will again be in the Market Place. Its on Saturday 22nd May from 9 am – 12 noon.

Our plants are donated by kind people who have spares, and we have a wide range for sale, from veggies to house plants.

All the money raised goes to help buy plants to make the town look a brighter and more beautiful place, so PLEASE support us. Grow plants, buy plants, or just make a donation.

Once again we are holding our plant sale in the Market Place to raise money to buy plants and bulbs to make the town look lovely. Please support us, either by growing and donating plants, or by buying plants. (if neither appeals

This years coffee morning proved as popular as ever. You can see from the crowds below that it was standing room only. And they were also generous.  We are very grateful for the ongoing support of the community, who clearly value what we do.  So look out for next years event, and join us for coffee and cakes

This year we were planning to hold our Open Gardens Event in the town centre, based on the lovely gardens in Coxwell Street, The Mead and other locations nearby.  however, because the rules on social distancing are likely to remain in place for much of the summer we have opted to postpone it until 2021.

We were hoping to raise money for Signpost, a local charity which does so much for homeless and vulnerable people.

Stay safe, keep well.

Most years we hold our main fund raising plant sale in the Market Place in late May.  You can see from the picture below just how successful it is.

This year, because of the impact of social distancing we have decided that we are unable to hold a traditional market stall.   But our enthusiastic volunteers have been growing a whole range of plants for us.  So we have decided to hold a “virtual” plant sale, or perhaps a “dispersed” plant sale.

We will hold it on May 23rd, when we would have held our stall, but instead of the stall we will place plants at various locations around the town, mainly on people’s drives.   There will be no one to help you choose your plants, but you will be able to browse at your leisure (and respecting social distancing requirements) and then leave a donation in the box for the plants you have chosen.

Please rest assured we will be back with more plants for sale next year, its just a little difficult at the moment

 

 

 

 

The  Abbey Grounds is looking very nice with the snow.

 

We are planning to hold our next plant sale on Saturday 27th May in the Market Place Cirencester.  It will be alongside the usual Farmers Market that day, but we hope we will have extra space for all the plants donated.

This is to encourage you to start growing now, so that we have lots of plants ready to sell and raise money.  And if you want to help, that’s great as well.

 

 

We are holding a coffee morning to raise funds to buy plants and other necessities on Wednesday 7th March from 10.30 at Bingham House on Dyer Street.

Please come and show your support by buying a coffee or something from our Bring and Buy Stall, or by making a donation.  Every little helps.
