Square Foot Garden Presentation For Melanoma Awareness Week

A presentation that demonstrates what vegetables can be grown and nurtured in just a square foot of garden will be hosted by the Haskins Roundstone Garden Centre near Worthing to support the Myfanwy Townsend Melanoma Research Fund. Melanoma is the Gardener's Cancer, now affecting 1 in 50 and is the most common cancer amongst young people.

The Charity's founder, Harry Townsend, former assistant curator at the world famous Kew Gardens, will present the demonstration on throughout the day on Saturday 19 June.

Harry, who is busy planning Melanoma Awareness Week which commences 12 June, says that he hopes that the presentation will remind growers to protect themselves in the strong summer sunshine as well as raise crucial funds for research and awareness initiatives.

Anyone wishing to donate or support the Myfanwy Townsend Melanoma Research Fund can visit www.melanoma-fund.co.uk or contact Harry Townsend on 01342 322508.
