The lovely people at pet loving PetFace – long-term supporters of Greenfingers – have created garden themed pet toys with a percentage of each sale going directly to help the Greenfingers Charity to build even more therapeutic gardens at children’s hospices across the country. Featuring an aubergine, corn on the cob, asparagus, and a cauliflower design, these fun additions to a till top or pet ranges are a great way for PetFace and their retail customers to support Greenfingers this Christmas.
