Dobbies are giving away poppy seeds

As part of its community programme, Here We Grow, Dobbies, Chesterfield, has launched its latest campaign, ‘Poppies for our heroes’.

The leading garden centre retailer has over 12,000 poppy seeds to give away to local community groups across the UK, encouraging them to turn their attention to empty green spaces in their local area and plant poppy seeds in March and April to ensure they flower in time for Remembrance Day this November.

Megan Pashley, community champion at Dobbies Garden Centre, Chesterfield, said: ““Whether you’re a school, community organisation, local charity, hospital or care centre, looking to mark this occasion we would love to hear from you.”

Here We Grow helps local communities to develop green space in their area by encouraging local community groups, projects, schools and charities to enjoy planting and growing in their own gardens, by offering products, equipment, support and help.

If you would like to put your group forward for consideration, contact the community champion at your local Dobbies store. For more information, visit www.dobbies.com.
