STAFF at Goulds Garden Centre teamed up with the Joseph Weld Hospice, Trimar Hospice and CancerCare Dorset to raise more than £1,000.
A four-day spring garden festival at Goulds in Littlemoor Road attracted hundreds of visitors and launched the garden centre's new look.
It also provided an opportunity to raise money and keep children entertained.
Lida Newman, joint chairman of the hospice friends committee, said: "We are very grateful for all the support and encouragement that Goulds gives.
"It is tremendously supportive of the hospice and it is great to see a company like that supporting us so enthusiastically.
"The event was very successful indeed."
