We’re delighted to announce that our 2022 Open Garden season raised over £18,000. An incredible team of volunteers worked tirelessly, through one of the hottest summers on record, plus a period of national mourning, to open eight glorious gardens between June to September. Enormous thanks go to the garden owners for allowing us in, and to all who came to support each event. Planning is already underway for the 2023 season – do get in touch if you’d like to be part of the team!
