Wherwell Open Gardens

Wherwell Open Gardens takes place annually on the last
Sunday in June, which
this year happens to fall on the 25th. It began as an
idea more than 10
years ago and has continued to develop as the
principle money raising event
for the Village Hall. It has been staunchly supported
by a very generous
nucleus of residents over this period and the Hall
committee are indebted to
them. However the time has come to ring the changes a
little and try to give
some of these generous folk a break - so we are
appealing to anyone who
would like to offer to open their garden for a couple
of hours or so on this
particular Sunday afternoon. By doing so, you will
know that you are helping
to support one of our valuable and ever diminishing
village assets.
Be assured however, there is no requirement to be an
avid gardener, knowing
all there is to know about plants - indeed some of our
supporters profess to
know very little about what is growing in their garden
at all, only that
they like it and cherish it. Your garden can be big or
small but as long as
you love it, someone else will find it interesting
too. Although some of our
gardeners like to exchange knowledge with visitors it
is by no compulsory!
Indeed some actually go away for the day leaving just
the garden gate open.
Our small team will be moving around during the course
of the afternoon
keeping an eye on proceedings and assisting where
necessary.
So, if you are interested or want to discuss it
further please contact any
