Story
Hi, I'm Geoffrey Plumptre, the National Garden Scheme's favourite dog. My Great Big Gardening Book Christmas raffle was made possible by a generous group of garden-writing friends donating copies of their new books. Thanks guys!
The raffle is now closed and we have informed the lucky winners. It raised an amazing £6556 which will give an end-of-year boost to our Help Support Our Nurses campaign.
Even though the raffle is closed you can still make a donation from this page which will go to our Help Support Our Nurses Campaign.
