Sunflower selfies for hospice this summer

Blooms galore to thank supporters

The Island's hospice is inviting the public to grow a sunflower this summer - as a thank-you for the support it receives year-round.

The sunflower selfies campaign began as a fund-raiser in the UK - with people buying special tins of seeds and soil to help their local hospice.

But in the Island, they're being given away - at hospice shops and the warehouse - to anyone who'd like to grow a giant flower.  

Donations are welcome - but not compulsory!

Growers are being asked to take a selfie with their bloom and post photos on the hospice social media sites.
