Floral Guernsey

The Floral Guernsey Annual Awards Presentation and Dinner was held at Les Cotils on 6th September 2018 where there were two entries this year which were Sark and St. Saviour.

St Andrews Floral Group who have been hugely helpful in improving the grounds at the GSPCA  and won Gold at the 2017 awards had taken 2018 off from the awards for the Parish but have continued hard working around the Parish and headed up by Ann Wragg at the GSPCA.

Grounds at the GSPCA have been transformed over recent years and this week the GSPCA team of volunteers and groups that support our work have been busier than usual.

Yesterday we hosted the Floral Guernsey Judges Rae Beckwith and Alan Dorey who were visiting the site to see the work we carry out on our grounds for the community and conservation.

On June 17th 2018 by kind permission of Major and Mrs. Phillippi their gardens at Le Vallon, Ruette Fainel, Le Vallon, St. Martin were open to the public in aid of the GSPCA.

Refreshments and cakes were on sale and despite the drizzly afternoon 100’s enjoyed the stunning grounds of Le Vallon in St Martins.

Over £1000 was raised and we want to thank Major and Mrs. Phillippi, Floral Guernsey, all that volunteered and especially those that supported.

On June 17th 2018 between 2pm and 5pm by kind permission of Major and Mrs. Phillippi the gardens at Le Vallon, Ruette Fainel, Le Vallon, St. Martin GY4 6DQ will be open to the public.

Parking is available and entry is a minimum donation of £5 which will be in aid of the GSPCA to help the many animals at the Shelter.

Due to the livestock living free range on site we are sorry to say that no dogs (except guide dogs) are allowed.

Refreshments and cakes will be on sale to help enjoy your afternoon in the stunning grounds of Le Vallon in St Martins.

Can you help us at the GSPCA with our Memorial Garden?

We are currently appealing for granite to help with the landscaping in our Memorial Garden and around site.

The GSPCA with the help of St Andrews Floral Group, Work to Benefit team and many others have been improving the grounds for visitors and wildlife and if you have any spare granite we would love to hear from you.

Whether you can drop it in or would like us to collect, if you can help please call 257261 or email stevejbyrne@gspca.org.gg

Earlier this month the GSPCA and St Andrews Floral Group attended this year's Floral Guernsey Community Competition.

There were four Bailiwick entries taking part in this year's Floral Guernsey Community Competition who were recognised for their achievements at this year’s awards evening including St Andrews Floral Group.  

Forest secured the overall winning place with a GOLD AWARD and the prestigious Lady Dorey Trophy with Herm and St Andrews also securing GOLD AWARDS and St Saviours a SILVER AWARD. 

On the 9th February the St Andrews Floral Group are holding a quiz night at the Last Post to raise funds for the fantastic work they carry out in the heart of Guernsey.

The GSPCA are hugely thankful to St Andrews Floral Group for all they do at the GSPCA and in our local Parish of St Andrews to make it look so stunning and a fabulous place for wildlife.

Tables of 4 are £40 which includes a basket supper meal, with a start time of 7pm for 730pm.

For the final time of 2016 the GSPCA joined the Taste of Guernsey Seafront Sunday on Sunday.

It was their fourth and final Seafront Sunday of 2016 and once again we are hugely grateful to them for letting us join them for what was a great and very popular day, as they have all proved to be.

Our stall was opposite Thomas de la Rue with all of our fun games, tombolas, pet supplies, donation buckets and GSPCA goods which help raise funds for the animals in our care.

Once again we joined the Taste of Guernsey Seafront Sunday on Sunday.

It was their third Seafront Sunday of 2016 and once again we are hugely grateful to them for letting us join them for what was a great and very popular day.

Our stall at the Taste Seafront Sunday is likely we will near Thomas de la Rue with all of our fun games and tombolas which helps raise hundreds of pounds for the animals in our care.

Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said "The Taste Seafront Sundays are always great fun and we had a lovely day meeting lots of new friends and many regular supporters."

Could you help man our stall for the Taste of Guernsey Seafront Sunday on Sunday 24th July.

The stall in town we will be setting up from 8am for a 10am start and pack up around 5pm for their third Seafront Sunday of 2016.
