Garden Africa |
GardenAfrica establishes training gardens in schools and hospitals in sub-Saharan Africa. These gardens are used to teach people affected by poverty and disease to grow nutritious food and medicinal plants, using sustainable farming methods, to improve health and generate income. More than 90% of the donations go directly to projects in the field.
We support GardenAfrica by buying their Christmas Cards for your personal messages in the hampers and by donating to them each time you buy the bag on its own. For every five bags sold, we donate enough for GardenAfrica to buy a bee hive.

They regularly visit their factories in Kolkata to ensure their ethical policies are maintained. They are looking into the most effective way of going carbon neutral – kindly helping us out with any advice they can offer. In addition to this they sponsor the education of 5 children in India.

Richard Bampfield |
As one of only 250 Masters of Wine in the world we were very lucky to have Richard lecture us during our Diploma in Food & Wine at Leiths. As a first rate public speaker Richard really brings the world of wine to life through his witty yet fascinating anecdotes of his years of tasting. We were elated when Richard provided us with his seal of approval for our choice of sparkling wines, especially given his hectic timetable racing between lectures, wine launches, corporate wine events and meetings with wineries.
