Open Gardens 🪻

Do you love your garden? Do your friends tell you how lovely it is? Or how unique it is? It’s very likely other people will want to visit your garden too. You can support Princess Alice Hospice by opening your own much loved garden.

Opening your garden to the public may seem daunting at first, but you’re not only giving people a great day out – you’re also raising money to help us deliver our compassionate care. What’s more you’ll be joining a community of other like-minded garden owners and volunteers, all passionate about great gardens and great cake!

So whether your garden is big or small, crazy or calm,  if you think it has quality, character and interest, we’d love to hear from you and arrange a visit so you can apply to be part of the scheme.

• Why would I open my garden? – There are many reasons that people open their gardens. To show off their hard work, to inspire or educate others, to share their passion for gardening and often for fundraising. People enjoy the experience so much that they continue to open their garden each year.
• What dates would I have to offer? – Dates are not confirmed but there will be a variety of dates from March-September, though we will aim to group gardens in areas at the same time so our supporters can hop from one to another.
• My garden is tiny – No need to worry, great things come in small packages!
• I have a pond/pool – We will advise any visitors of the risks and precautions they must take.
