The Great Poinsettia Sale is tomorrow – Monday 23rd – at TOPS Plants, Mickleton – we’re open 9am til 4pm.
Every Poinsettia is a bargain £1 and all of the £1 will go to Campden Home Nursing – one of our great local charities. Our Poinsettias are homegrown in Mickleton and they are medium to small size, with a choice of colours … so ideal for putting on a table or window sill. The Poinsettias and the Collection tin are ready!
To read more about their great work, please visit: www.campdenhomenursing.org
Those pennies do add up!
Thank you to all who donate their little bits of change in to one of our charity tins. Shakespeare Hospice – a very worthwhile local charity.

TOPS Plants of Mickleton are delighted to announce that we raised £1747 at our Christmas Lights Charity event.
We’ve rounded this sum up to £1800 so that we can give £600 each to three very worthwhile local charities – Campden Home Nursing; Shakespeare Hospice and Midlands Air Ambulance.
All of these charities rely on donations to continue delivering their incredibly valued services to local people.
We would like to thank all who supported the event; sponsored lights in memory of loved ones; donated raffle prizes and those who decorated the Christmas trees on behalf of local organisations.

Special mention must be made to Barry & Anne Metcalfe, Glyn Jones and John Garton for their support and advice; Gladys Allman who raised £350 with the raffle; Gary Holland for photography; Bob at Decades Tearoom; the Hedgehog minibus drivers for ferrying visitors to and from the village and our team at TOPS for going well beyond the call of duty!
Finally all printing and publicity material was sponsored by Vale Press Ltd of Willersey.
Many local people will remember Alan “Lumpy” Batchelor from Honeybourne. Lumpy would have been the first to admit he had a few faults but he was a good friend to TOPS Plants and many others. In wishing to remember him we have donated a wooden bench in his memory and it’s now in position not far from the shop on the Stratford Road in Honeybourne, opposite the road to the church.
