2007

The Green Legacy Guernsey Project was launched in March 2007 with a target of £2,000 to supply free native trees and hedging plants to the parishes and to supply free low energy light bulbs to the elderly. The money was to be raised from workshops and events at the Plant Centre, donations from visitors to our Christmas lights and from local companies who could see and believed in the benefits of the project.     St Andrews won GOLD in the large village category of the 2007 RHS Britain in Bloom awards. They were also runners up in the Environment Award.  Les Bourgs Hospice also won the Parish Gold Award for the second year running. GLG had volunteer work support and donations from JLT and NRG including Joan Ozanne from JLT doing a sponsored sky dive to raise money for GLG with JLT matching the amount she raised.

2006

April and October 2006 Workshops at the Plant Centre attracted over 500 adults and children including Tiny Tots who were keen to learn about creating a Floral Island. Money raised at the Tiny Tots planting playtime was donated to BBC Children in Need.  In July 2006 Linda Laxton from British Wild flowers supporting Green Legacy joined us at Floral Guernsey’s Summer Festival at Candie gardens. Linda donated 1,000 wild flowers and Thompson & Morgan donated vegetables and yellow geraniums which were given free to over 800 local children to be planted in their gardens. 100% of all donations were given to MIND the mental health charity. St Andrews School and Les Bourgs Hospice both won Floral Awards in 2006. We are proud to have been associated with the sponsorship of the Schools Marquee at the annual Floral Guernsey Show, sponsors of the annual Floral Guernsey Schools awards for number of years and the maintenance of Les Bourgs Hospice gardens.  In December the visitors who enjoyed their visit to the Christmas lights at the Plant Centre made donations which were given 100% to Les Bourgs Hospice.
