Gardman Wild Bird Care, the UK's leading garden products and wild bird care supplier, is joining forces with The Royal British Legion to help raise £200,000 for serving members and veterans of the UK Armed Forces and their families through the launch of a new poppy design bird feeder and two charity wild bird feed blends.

The Peterborough-based company, a supplier to hundreds of retail stores and independent garden centres across the UK, has become an official corporate partner of the charity. Gardman has launchd the new Royal British Legion branded Poppy Bird Feeder alongside two sizes of the charity branded premium Wild Bird Seed Blend.

The Poppy Bird Feeder will retail at £6.99 with the Wild Bird Seed Blend retailing at £4.99 and £14.99 for 1.8kg and 12.55kg respective sizes. Gardman will donate 50p for every sale of its Poppy Bird Feeder, 50p for each pack of 1.8kg bird feed and £1.50 per pack of its 12.55kg charity Wild Bird Seed Blend to The Royal British Legion. The Gardman Poppy Bird Feeder is a stunning garden ornament that can be used all year round, bringing style and colour to any garden display or outdoor space.

Gavin White, Head of Brands at Gardman, said: “We're so proud to be partnering with The Royal British Legion and hope we can make a real difference to the Armed Forces community and their families. More than half of adults in the UK feed birds in their garden and many want to create a supportive garden habitat for them. The poppy is an iconic symbol in relation to our Armed Forces and because we share a core customer demographic with The Royal British Legion, we expect our beautiful bird feeder and accompanying premium feed to prove very popular.”
