Harris Hospis Care
Our Open Garden's programme runs from May to September, encompassing a
long and varied season starting with our annual Plant Sale on Saturday 12
May 2012. As in the past, funds for the hospice are raised from the
entrance fee, the sale of light refreshments, raffle tickets and plant
sales.
We have a dedicated team of fabulous volunteers to provide refreshments
and we can help recruit musicians or entertainers to make it a special
day. For a bit of fun we suggest organising themed gardens such as
eco-friendly, sensory, vegetable or maybe incorporate music, dance or
fancy dress into the mix. Community-wide open gardens events have proven
very successful in the past, raising record amounts for the hospice and
getting the whole neighbourhood involved.
Previous participants have commented that this is a great way to meet
local people, in a relaxing atmosphere and at the same time raise money
for their local hospice.
Those interested in opening their gardens in support of Harris HospisCare
should contact me on 01689 825755 soon as possible.
If you are interested in a member of the Harris HospisCare staff attending
one of your meetings to discuss the work of the hospice and upcoming
events please do not hesitate to contact me.
I very much hope that you will be able to support us.
Yours sincerely
Sandra Rumbold
