A BUNCH of garden centre staff will be completing something amazing in September and it's nothing do with flowers or plants...
Oaktree Garden Centre colleagues in Warfield have come up with a spontaneous fundraising idea for Prostrate Cancer UK and Battersea Dogs and Cats Home.

The warehouse team will be cycling more than 50 miles from Clapham Common, London to Brighton to raise money for the two charities.
10 men and women will make up the Warfield team and they will set off on Sunday, September 13.
Vicky Holmes, from Oaktree Garden Centre, said: "What started off as a light-hearted conversation amongst colleagues has turned into quite the mission! 10 men and women (with a combined age of over 400!!) are going to push themselves to the absolute limit of their endurance to raise money for two amazing charities close to their hearts.

"This is over 50 miles and it’s probably the first time most of our team have cycled since they were children!"
The team hopes to raise £1,000 for each charity, with £480 raised for Battersea Dogs and Cats and £280 for Prostrate Cancer UK.
