Garden Photo Competition. June 2020

These are frustrating times for STC Malvern Branch as with all other local charities as the normal fundraising activities we run have stopped because of coronovirus.

To mark the annual opening of President Andre Bright’s garden in Alfrick for a NGS Open Day and given that we could not offer afternoon tea as we do normally, we decided to run a Photo Competition and invite people to send us photos of their gardens. We had in total 35 entries and raised £320 for Save the Children.

Carol Nichols who owns Grange Farm nursery judged the competition and donated two £10 vouchers to the winners. As it was so difficult to decide on a single winner, she split the entries into two categories - Gardens and Flowers.

The winner of the garden section was Nicky Templeton Ward and the flowers section Katherine Newman. (Photos below).

Thank you for everyone for their support, and committee members Valerie Hart and Joan Gibson, whose idea it was for their work in organising it.

If anyone has any other fun idea of raising monies in these strange times, please do contact us.
