The Garden Re-Leaf Charity Walk returns to Tring

Greenfingers • 15/02/2024

Look out for some greenfingered walkers on March 15th as a special charity fundraising walk returns to Tring. 

March 15th is Garden Re-Leaf Day. This special annual fundraising day is the work of the Wendover based, Greenfingers Charity, who every year create magical and therapeutic garden spaces at children’s hospices across the country. 

With almost 70 gardens completed since the launch of Greenfingers 24 years ago and a long list of hospices waiting in the wings, Garden Re-Leaf Day plays a pivotal role in raising vital funds for this charity. The 2024 event marks the second time that the Garden Re-Leaf Walk has made its base at Tring Garden Centre. From the incredible hospitality – including morning bacon butties and a post-walk barbeque - to the wider fundraising on the day, the team at Tring Garden Centre has fully embraced the event and are part of the reason why the 2023 event raised over £70,000. 

Join the walk! 

Starting and ending at Tring Garden Centre, walkers can choose between and 10-mile and 20-mile route, both of which will take in the stunning Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire countryside. As the chosen charity of the garden retail sector, the walk sees many suppliers from the local area – and far afield – come together to raise as much money as possible whilst enjoying some much-needed time away from the office to have fun with friends and colleagues. 

Many of you may recall seeing swathes of people adorned with the Greenfingers ‘green hand’ logo in March 2023 and this year you could be one of them as the charity has issued a rallying call to the local community to get involved. Open to local businesses and residents, the Greenfingers Charity hope to make the 2024 event the biggest one yet. 

For those unable to participate in the walk, there are plenty of ways to support. You can sponsor the walkers, donate refreshments along the route or sponsor the event in return for recognition on the charity’s website and social media channels. 

Linda Petrons, Director of Fundraising & Communications at the Greenfingers Charity, said: “The Garden Re-Leaf Day Charity Walk is such a superb day and we’re so grateful to the team at Tring Garden Centre for their continued hospitality. We’re excited to be back and hope that we might welcome some new walkers and supporters of the event this March. We’ve so many ways to get involved so interested parties are invited to get in touch to find out more.”
