Friends of Garden Masterclass raise funds for Lemon Tree Trust
Many thanks to Annie Guilfoyle and Noel Kingsbury at Garden Masterclass who are inviting members to make a donation to Lemon Tree Trust when attending special member events.
So far member events have included a debate on ‘What makes a great garden plant’ between horticulturalists and gardeners Edward Flint, Bob Brown and Andi Strachan on 29 January, and a talk from James Hitchmough on ‘Steppe-like grasslands in the wild as primers for design’ on 8 February.
Members from the Friends of Garden Masterclass attending the events have already raised almost £2,000 to help displaced people and refugees to garden and more special events are planned throughout 2021.
