In a private preview of the 84th Chelsea Flower Show, attended by The Queen, the Prince of Wales, the Duchess of Cornwall and celebrities, Emma Thompson unveiled the pink rose that will become the signature plant for the Plant Pink campaign. The campaign will raise money in support of Breast Cancer Care. "It seems to me there are more and more women getting this disease. Of course, since they are the growers and nurturers, the effects of a woman having this disease go very, very far through the family. The reverberations through children's and parents lives are very great. I am promoting this for all the people who I know who have lost their women." UK gardeners are being asked to plant pink plants using pink products all available at Wyevale Garden Centres. 50p from the sale of all pink plants will go towards raising money for the breast cancer charity. Wyevale Garden Centres, the UK's largest garden centre group with 114 stores, has chosen Breast Cancer Care as its Charity of the Year for 2006.Note: The contents of this blog are for informational purposes only and should not be construed as medical advice or substitute for professional care.
