Great Yorkshire Show flower wall donated to Harrogate hospice

Geo Underwriting has donated its Flower Wall from the Great Yorkshire Show 2026.

Saint Michael's Hospice has been gifted the floral display that featured on Geo Underwriting's stand at this year's Great Yorkshire Show.

The Harrogate hospice was chosen from almost 50 nominations to receive the Flower Wall, which was on display in the Members' Enclosure throughout the show.

The donation includes a range of plants and shrubs that formed part of the display, with the presentation made by Geo Underwriting's Technical Underwriter, Liz Johnson.

Saint Michael's Hospice provides specialist care and support for people living with terminal illness across the Harrogate district.

It is part of North Yorkshire Hospice Care, alongside Herriot Hospice and Just 'B', offering hospice care, emotional wellbeing and bereavement support across the county.

Kate Bush, Trading Director at Geo Underwriting, said:

"We're delighted to be able to support St Michael's Hospice this year.

"Their team provides incredible care, comfort and dignity to families during some of life's most difficult moments, and we know just how much that support means to local communities.

"We hope this donation helps them in their efforts to provide patients with beautiful, peaceful surroundings to enjoy with their families.

"Thank you to everyone who submitted a nomination – it was genuinely moving to see so many worthwhile causes put forward."

She added:

"At Geo, we don't just insure rural businesses and farms, we have deep-rooted connections to the agricultural community.

"We understand the importance of supporting the people and organisations that make such a positive difference locally, and beyond."

Jacqui Havercroft, Supporter Care Manager at Saint Michael's Hospice, said:

"We are incredibly grateful to Geo Underwriting for their generous donation of these beautiful flowers.

"Thoughtful gestures like this make a real difference to our hospice environment, helping to create warm, welcoming spaces that can bring comfort and brighten the day for everyone who walks through our doors.

"We know these flowers will be enjoyed by our patients, their families and our dedicated staff, and we'd like to extend our sincere thanks to everyone at Geo Underwriting for their kindness and support."

The Flower Wall, created by Fiona Macdonald of Raspberry Wild, featured a variety of locally grown flowers including Blue Salvia, Sweet Williams, Firecracker Foxgloves and Cherry Chocolate Cosmos, known for its distinctive chocolate-like fragrance.
