Sow and Save<br />
Do you love animals and gardening?<br />
RSPCA Milton Keynes and North Bucks need<br />
plants.<br />
It’s the perfect time to start planning your<br />
planting and growing. The branch would be<br />
delighted if you could sow a few extra seeds and<br />
donate the plants to one of the branch’s two<br />
yearly summer events.<br />
RSPCA Summer Fair takes place between 12-4pm,<br />
on 8th <strong>June</strong> and Paws in the Park 1st September.<br />
With tombolas, craft stalls, good to buy and<br />
another great Dog Show add the dates to your<br />
diaries.<br />
Your plant donations will be sold at the events<br />
directly helping abused and neglected animals<br />
with the money raised. Sow now and save<br />
animals in your local area.<br />
Thank you for your support! <br />
