2018 Tulip bulb donations
We are proud to have donated a massive 230,000 tulip bulbs to local parks, green spaces, schools, hospitals and charities across the South East!
This donation was made possible by our “Love Where You Live” campaign, where each centre pledged to donate 10 bulbs for every bag of bulbs that customers purchased in September. The campaign has been such a phenomenal success, that we have been able to donate and help plant 80,000 more bulbs than our original target of 150,000.
Local councils, school children and community volunteers joined our team members to plant the tulip bulbs throughout October.
