Be My Valentine And Adopt A Wild Flower

Tuesday 29th January 2013

Plantlife, a charity based at Rollestone Street, Salisbury, is asking romantics and suitors to think differently this Valentine’s Day (14th February). They suggest that instead of giving cut flowers (which only last a short time) we choose an alternative gift, namely the adoption of a wildflower or similar sponsorship of an acre of land on one of Plantlife’s twenty-three nature reserves.

A spokesman for the charity says: “Imagine how romantic it would be to take your valentine for a walk through a field full of poppies that’s dedicated in their name. You will receive a certificate and a gorgeous framed picture of the meadow you’ve adopted.” The proceeds raised from the sale of these unusual gifts will help the work being done by Plantlife which is preserving wild flowers for future generations.
