Nice to see you back Grock, i've missed your sense of humour on here. :wink:
The only thing i can really think of is a plant sale, there must be loads of plot holders with plants they can spare.
I suppose it depends what exactly you need the money for, and how much you need.
If it was money to get sites cleared, you can get groups of young offenders that will come in a clear them for nothing.
I'm sure you will get some other good advice from our friends on here, especially since your such a nice person. :wink:

Kind regards Old Herbaceous.

Nothing special to tell really Linda. Just that Grock and I are on the same site, have neighbouring lotties and so both of us are involved.

Simply sated the one Sarahlee mentioned and also Esme Fairburn. Also told the Grock about the reference books available in the Library that deals with fundraising, giving the addresses of groups with small pots of cash available to apply for.

Watch out Grock, Lizzie's pimped her signature, if you're not careful she'll pimp you to raise funds! :wink:
Do not put off thanking people when they have helped you, as they may not be there to thank later.
