Doug Coxall, 94, looking for someone to take over community plant stall that has donated almost 10k to charity

A father-daughter team that has raised more than $9000 for charity through their plant stall are pleading for someone to step into their shoes to keep the operation going.

Doug Coxall and his daughter Annette Green have run a plant stall out of Mr Coxall’s house for the past three years, donating 100 per cent of the profits to Albany Community Hospice and Ronald McDonald House.

At 94, Mr Coxall can no longer manage the 300-400 plants kept in his “greenery” and since suffering a fall that left him hospitalised in Perth with a broken hip, he thinks it is time to pass the mantle.

“I get a lot of pleasure out of the selling,” he said

“We’d love to keep it going.

“It would suit someone retired with a bit of spare time and space who likes gardening.”

The stall is a true community endeavour with the cuttings, plants and pots provided by neighbours, the soil donated by Soil Solutions, and other locals setting up stands on site selling honey and lemons.

The pair sell the plants through Facebook Marketplace and host several big selling days throughout the year.

Ms Green said the family knew many people who had benefited from the charitable work of the two not-for-profits that receive the stall’s funds.

“It’s very satisfying to be able to give back and a lovely way of evening the odds out,” she said.

“You never know when you’ll need either of the charities.

“It’s also just a lovely way to bring the community together as a lot of people like to give tribute to it.

“Everybody wants to help and everyone’s on the same page — you truly meet some beautiful people.”

She said the project had been brilliant in keeping her father busy but he cannot keep it up due to his and his wife’s ailing health.

“Dad needs a rest and we’re ready for someone else to take over and keep this lovely community project going.”

Ms Green said she could spend a few weeks helping the new operators to get set up.
