A BUNCH of gardeners bared all for a raunchy charity calendar after a fellow lanscaper battled with his mental health.

Horticultural charity Perrenial has helped save people's lives during dark times.

Milton Keynes-based landscaper Craig Nester has bared all for the horticultural charity, Perennial, which has launched its ‘Naked Grubby Gardener’s calendar for 2023 – with proceeds going towards to its incredible work in helping people involved in the horticultural industry improve their financial and mental well-being.

Craig has spent his whole career working in the landscaping industry. He formed landscaping business Habitat with a dream of providing the very best in quality of installations and the highest levels of service before and after those installations take place.

Perennial helps people working in, or retired from, horticulture by supporting them with issues fro ill health, homelessness, to people struggling with financial hardship, social isolation, mental health issues or dealing with bereavement.

Craig is a member of the Grubby Gardeners, previously making a naked calender to praise money for the charity.

The Grubby Gardeners said: “Back in 2014 when we were young and maybe a little less wise, a group of friends who all worked in horticulture thought it might be fun to raise money for Perennial by making a calendar. We had no idea what we had let ourselves in for as our calendar went global; with TV coverage, autograph signing and lots of general fuss, it became the moment that the Grubby Gardeners was officially born.

"Four calendars later we are still going strong. Our fundraising efforts have included wing-walking, mountain climbing, mud-running and parachuting, all with the same aim in mind – to make everyone aware of the support Perennial offers and to raise important funds so the charity can continue to help those in need.

"While this calendar shows all boys, The Grubby Gardeners are non-gendered and as a team we love to meet new people who want to get involved, have any great fundraising ideas and help us spread the word, that Perennial supports everybody and anybody that works in this fantastic industry that is Horticulture.”
