Planting for the Jubilee (June 2022)

In June 2022, as part of the Queen's Jubilee celebrations, Booker Flowers and Gifts embarked on a heartwarming initiative called "Plant a Tree for the Jubilee." Collaborating with Booker Avenue School, they organized a coloring competition for children, giving them a chance to win an art set and a bouquet for the Queen in their life. The colourful drawings adorned the shop's window, creating a joyful display that the children could take pride in.

What made this initiative even more impactful was the specially designed bouquet, where £5 from each sale contributed to the cause. With the proceeds amounting to £240, Booker Flowers and Gifts generously provided the school with two large trees to plant on their grounds and an assortment of shrubs and bedding plants. This not only beautified the school but also promoted biodiversity by attracting bees and butterflies.
