From Friday 20th until Sunday 22nd March children can come and plant a beautiful basket with three colourful plants, then decorate it with a bow to give as a Mother’s Day gift. The cost is £6, and Squire’s will donate 20% of this to the charity Greenfingers, who create magical gardens for children’s hospices.

There will also be a free flower wordsearch, and all children will receive a sticker when they complete it.

The Mother’s Day Planting weekend is on at all Squire’s Garden Centres except Chertsey. There’s no need to book, simply turn up between 9.30am-3.30pm on Friday 20th and Saturday 21st March, or 10.30am-3.30pm on Sunday 22nd March.

Activity available while stocks last.
