The team has raised more than £237,000, with donations continuing to grow each day.
The funds will help create a new therapeutic garden at Naomi and Jack’s children’s hospice, designed by acclaimed garden designer Helen Elks-Smith.
Boyd Douglas-Davies, chair of Greenfingers Charity, said: "What this team has achieved is nothing short of remarkable. Kilimanjaro is an immense physical and mental challenge that demands everything of those who take it on.
"Every member of the team showed outstanding resilience, courage and determination, and together they truly embodied exceptional team spirit. Their commitment to one another throughout the expedition was inspiring, and because of their efforts another Greenfingers garden will become a reality for children and families who need it most."
Kate Ebbens, of Woodlodge and originator of the Kilimanjaro challenge, said: "When we first talked about taking on Kilimanjaro, we hoped it would bring people from across our industry together to do something special for Greenfingers Charity, and seeing that idea become reality has been very meaningful.
"During the challenge, the team and I adopted the strapline ‘One Team. One Dream.’, and it quickly became the heartbeat of our journey. Kilimanjaro tests you in every possible way, physically, mentally and emotionally, but what carried us through was the strong support we gave one another. Every day someone needed encouragement, and every day someone was there to give it.
"This challenge was never about individual achievement. Instead it was about coming together as one team to create something lasting for children with life-limiting conditions and their families. Knowing our efforts will help bring the Naomi and Jack’s garden to life makes every step on that mountain worthwhile, and I couldn’t be prouder of what this team has achieved together."
Linda Petrons, director of fundraising and communications at Greenfingers Charity, added: "Watching this journey unfold has been truly special from start to finish. From the first conversations through to training walks, fundraising milestones and finally the expedition itself, this team has shown exceptional commitment and spirit.
"They have demonstrated what can be achieved when an industry and friends come together behind a shared purpose. Their determination, generosity and support for one another has been remarkable, and thanks to them, another Greenfingers garden will soon become a reality for children and families who need it most.
"We are now within touching distance of £250,000, and we would love to see this inspiring team reach that milestone together."
