Our Open Gardens initiative invites garden enthusiasts to support a worthy cause.
From quaint cottage gardens to sprawling country oases and meticulously designed landscapes, every garden has its own charm and character.
By opening your gates, you’ll help raise vital funds for local hospice care while inspiring others to enjoy the beauty of the outdoors.
Open your garden
Calling all gardeners! Do you have a hidden gem of a garden, here in the heart of Lincolnshire? We’re looking for local folk to open their outdoor spaces this spring and summer and make a meaningful difference in the community.
Whether your garden is humongous or humble, quirky or colourful, the chances are: if you’re passionate about your garden, others will be too. Opening your garden through our programme is a wonderful way to share your gardening wisdom and achievements while inspiring others. By participating, you’ll connect with fellow garden enthusiasts and contribute to our work across the county.
Through your ticket sales and refreshments (check out our Care For A Cuppa, which you can host at the same time), you’ll contribute to the compassionate care and support provided by St Barnabas Hospice.
We have everything you need to make it happen. Register today and download our free Open Gardens pack, including a fundraising guide, editable posters, bunting and signage. Our fundraising team will also be on hand to offer any further advice or materials.
If you’ve got any questions or would like to speak to the fundraising team, you can call us on 01522 540 300 or email fundraising@stbarnabashospice.co.uk.
