Ms Harris has raised the most funds nationally for two years in a row for the event Garden Releaf, which was held last weekend to encourage those with depression to get in the garden.
Ms Harris said the Garden Centres Association of Australia focused on how gardens and green space could enrich lives.
“At the Guildford Garden Centre we have embraced the idea that gardens and plants are good for us and we held a weekend of fun family-orientated activities, interactive displays and educational events,” she said.

“We are still counting the funds but very happy with the support at the weekend,” she said.
