A GARDEN centre’s fundraising calendar, which hundreds of keen photographers aimed for a coveted spot in, has now been released.

Webbs of Wychbold has launched its 2009 garden calendar after entrants submitted more than 1,300 pictures, which they hoped would be selected.

The 12 winning entries received gift vouchers and copies of the calendar for friends and family.

The calendar, priced at £4.99, will be raising funds for Webbs’ chosen charities – St Richard’s Hospice, the Acorns Children’s Hospice and the Primrose Hospice.

Executive chairman Ed Webb said: “We had a superb range to choose from which beautifully capture the essence of a garden as it changes through the seasons.”

The calendar is now on sale at the garden centre.
