GCA Christmas retail tour raises funds for Greenfingers
Garden Centre Association (GCA) members are invited to join a London Christmas Retail Tour on November 4, 2026, with ticket proceeds donated to Greenfingers.
The tour will showcase Christmas retail displays and merchandising across the capital, offering members ideas for visual merchandising, customer experiences and seasonal displays during a key trading period.
GCA CEO Peter Burks said: “We’re delighted to combine our day of festive retail inspiration with fundraising for Greenfingers. Christmas is a crucial trading period for members and this tour will provide valuable ideas while also supporting a very worthwhile charity.”
Attendees will visit Southbank Winter Market, Covent Garden, Regent Street, Liberty, Selfridges and Fortnum & Mason, with lunch sponsored by Smart Garden Products.
The tour will run from approximately 10.30am to 5.30pm, giving members the opportunity to gather practical ideas to take back to their own businesses.
Tickets cost £10 per person, with all proceeds donated to Greenfingers, which creates therapeutic gardens for children’s hospices.
Places are limited and the booking deadline is October 16, 2026. Members wishing to attend should contact Laura at laura@gca.org.uk.
