From small town gardens to large village gardens, with both new and well established gardens - there is great variety. Pick up successful tips and see how your garden might look.  You can buy plants in many of the gardens.

Barton upon Humber Open Gardens

On Saturday & Sunday, 28th & 29th June, between 12 & 5  you can enjoy a variety of 20 gardens, many within walking distance of one another in the fine old town of Barton upon Humber.

Making Messingham a Minibest Mecca...

Garden owners in the village of Messingham, just south of Scunthorpe, are being encouraged to create colourful giant caterpillars, butterflies (or any other insects) to display in their front gardens over the weekend of July 13th & 14th.  The idea is to create a trail for visitors to follow using a map available from the village hall on the Saturday afternoon where all sorts of things will be happening and refreshments will be available. 

If you live in Messingham and want to be involved just click the blue text to download an entry form to complete and return to the address shown.  If you don't live in Messingham why not follow this excellent example and do something in your village?

You can open your garden and raise funds too...

We are always looking for garden owners (large or small), gardening clubs, allotment societies and other garden related bodies who wish to open their gates, share their interest with visitors and raise valuable funds for hospice care.

If you would like to open your garden during 2013 or 2014 please do not hesitate to contact our Fundraising Office on 01724 843731 or email Anne Millet.
