Gill wanted to throw a party for friends and family to celebrate 30 more years of life since her last cancer treatment in 1994. She also wanted to show her support of the charities which had supported and helped her family at the time of her parents and aunts deaths. A Great British Garden Party seemed the perfect answer.
PLANT MCR showed their support of the National Garden Scheme with a Great British Garden Party fundraiser this summer. It was a wonderful event at NOMA in Manchester on 10th August. From planting workshops and NOMA garden tours to afternoon tea and live music, the day was filled with classic summer festivities. The event was open to everyone and no ticket was needed.
