Garden décor manufacturer, Vivid Arts, has confirmed that its Gardening Rabbit figurine will be raising funds for Greenfingers this Easter season.
Since its launch at Glee 2018, the playful rabbit figurine – equipped with a garden spade and bearing the trademark Greenfingers green gloves – has become a popular seller for Vivid Arts thanks to the character’s link with the children’s hospice garden charity.
A donation of £2 from every rabbit sold is given to Greenfingers, with the total donation in 2019 almost reaching the £6,000 mark. However, this year the Vivid Arts team are hoping to exceed this, with a £9,000 target being set.
The finely detailed hand painted ornament, made from high quality resin, stands at approximately 18cm high and will look adorable in any garden setting, as well as adding character and a sense of wildlife to any outdoor space that both adults and children will enjoy. Plus, with Easter on the horizon, it represents a superb seasonal gifting sales opportunity for retailers.
To make sales even easier, Vivid Arts supply an A3 POS poster with all orders to help retailers promote the rabbit in store.
Paul McGuire, sales director at Vivid Arts said: We’re absolutely delighted to continue our support of Greenfingers. Over the last 18 months the Greenfingers Rabbit – which is also available as a fundraising tin for till top collections – has not only brought joy to thousands of gardens, but has also helped to promote the Greenfingers brand to consumers, whilst also raising much needed funds that will enable the charity to build even more valuable garden spaces.”
Linda Petrons, director of Fundraising and Communications at Greenfingers said: “Our sincerest thanks to Vivid Arts for their continued support. The Greenfingers Rabbit was very popular last year following its launch at Glee. Both adults and children alike will love this cute little character and it will make the perfect Easter gift for a gardener.
“The funds raise will further help our mission to bring the inside of a children’s hospice outside into a therapeutic garden for life-limited children and their families to enjoy.”
