Whatstandwell Open Gardens

Sunday 5th June - 2pm to 6pm

Have you ever thought about opening your garden for the Whatstandwell Open Gardens? It's not as daunting as you might think, and people who have done so in the past enjoy it so much that they continue to open each year.

Your garden does not have to be huge - some excellent small gardens attract large crowds. If you have time pressures, you could just open your garden for a few hours, and you don't have to provide refreshments and cakes!  You could even have it listed as “view from the road / gate / footpath”.

If you're interested in opening for the first time, contact Mark Haslam and we'll offer whatever help and advice that we can give.

Sunday 5th June will see Whatstandwell open a number of its hidden gardens to the public for one day a year only. The event is being organised by Whatstandwell Social Club in aid of charity. Visitors will have a chance to explore several hillside gardens between 2pm and 5pm. All open gardens are available to visit for just £3.50 for adults and are free for children.

Gardeners love visiting other people’s gardens especially when it’s for a good cause and it’s a great way of getting inspiration for your own garden and there is always something new to see and learn.

Share your creativity and hard work by opening your garden to the appreciative gardening public, and raise money for a worthwhile cause. If you would like to help, either as a volunteer on the day or by opening your own garden, please contact Mark Haslam on 01773 853045.
