Hospice in the Weald Open Gardens Scheme

In 2015 Hospice in the Weald raised £29,458 through their Open Gardens Scheme.

Twenty four garden enthusiasts opened their gardens to visitors but next year we’d like to do even better. Do you have a passion for gardening? Is your garden your pride and joy? Is it especially beautiful at a particular time of year? Your garden does not need to be huge, as long as you feel you have something that would be of interest to visitors then we would love to hear from you.

If you need, we can give plenty of support in how to run an open garden and also promotional materials for the day. If you’re interested in opening your garden in 2016 please contact the Community Fundraising Coordinator on 01892 820502 or pam.coleman@hospiceintheweald.org.uk by Friday 15th January 2016.
