Creating your own Great British Garden Party JustGiving page is easy to do and it’s a great way of raising money. Your guests can donate online without the need to use cash, and even those who are unable to join you, will be able to show their support by making a donation.
Everyone loves a raffle and it’s a great way to get everyone involved on the day and boost the amount you raise at your Great British Garden Party.
Flower crowns are not only beautiful but are simple to make. Ask your guests to make a donation to make a flower crown and help raise a smile and funds at your Great British Garden Party!
Have your own plant and produce sale
If you love to propagate plants, have a glut of courgettes, or a wealth of homemade chutney and jams, why not hold your own plant and produce sale?
Set up a seed exchange
Ask people to donate seeds from plants that are flourishing in their own garden, or seeds that were surplus to their needs and ask guests for a 50p donation for each packet. It’s a great way to introduce new plants to your garden.
Garden produce competition
Invite guests to bring their roundest apple, biggest courgette, or flower themed bake to enter your Great British Garden Party garden show for a small donation. Plants make great prizes!
Goody bags and cake sales
Too much cake left over? Have some goody bags ready for your guests to fill and make a donation to take away. Or package up some home-made biscuits or brownies to sell as souvenirs!
Share the recipe for your favourite cake
Type or write out the recipe of the favourite cake that you have made for the party, and pass onto your guests for a £1 donation, they can take a copy, or a photo with their phone. We’ve created a blank recipe card that you can use for your recipe. Simply download and print.
Garden quiz
Our clues have a garden or plant connection, but it’s not just for serious gardeners! You can suggest £2 donation to enter.
Download our Garden Quiz or make up your own.
Children’s scavenger hunt
Children love a scavenger hunt. You can download our garden themed scavenger hunt and for a small donation it will keep them amused for hours.
Children’s colouring in pictures
Download our fun garden themed pictures and suggest a 50p donation to keep your young guests entertained. We’ve got three variations: Potting Shed, Bug House or Formal Garden
Book sale
Why not add a bring and buy book sale to your fundraising? It’s a wonderful way to share all those great books that kept you company during lockdown and to pick up some new ones! Simply ask your friends to bring some along to your party and charge a set amount for them to take one away.
