 The day started with a flurry of activity on Twitter, including a tweet from Stephen Fry! Very quickly he was being re-tweeted by many of his 4,000,000 followers and the first ever Garden Re-Leaf Day was quickly established as a national event. Alan Titchmarsh must have had a premonition when he predicted that this was going to be the biggest day in the gardening calendar! Whilst Garden Re-Leaf Day was officially 13th March 2012 many garden centres and nurseries are continuing to run events throughout the spring so look for this symbol at your local garden centre or nursery.  We have 3 objectives on Garden Re-Leaf Day.... 1 - To welcome the start of the gardening year. 2 - To engage with gardeners young, old, experienced or enthusiastic beginners. 3 - To raise money for Greenfingers, the garden industry charity that creates magical gardens for children's hospices.
