Story

Welcome to our Great Pumpkin Challenge

Every year, a bunch of us here at Selecta get stuck into a friendly pumpkin-growing showdown - all starting with little plants kindly supplied by Keith from our maintenance team.

This time around, we’re growing for a great cause too.

We’re proudly supporting Acorn’s Children’s Hospice, who do incredible work caring for children with life-limiting conditions and supporting their families.

Over the next few months, we’ll be nurturing our pumpkins, sharing a few updates, and then revealing who’s grown the heaviest pumpkin in October!

There’s no pressure to donate, but if you’d like to support us and the cause we’re raising money for, we’d really appreciate it.

Thank you for your support!
