'3.11 Garden Charity
Dear English Garden Lovers,


The "3.11 Garden Charity" has been set up to raise money for the victims of Earthquake and Tsunami in Japan. We aim to help the garden lovers of the Tohoku region to re-build green areas destroyed on March 11th 2011. We believe that gardening can help to provide hope for people coping with difficult times in their life.

Our aims are to;

1. Recover garden areas by planting young trees and redeveloping the destroyed landscape.
2. Care for the children affected by the disasters by organising special events such as days out and garden visits.
3. Plant flowers and trees in the affected roads and neighbourhoods.

We want to bring the joy of flowers and greenery back into their lives. Please help us.

We are grateful for any contributions, no matter how small.

Yours Sincerely,

Hanako Yagi
