Open Gardens fundraiser for Dove House
By Simon Bristow
A popular open gardens event in Hull will raise money for Dove House Hospice.
About 40 households will take part in the Avenues Open Gardens events on Sundays June 25 and July 2, with proceeds going to Dove House and other charities.
As well as offering a look around participating gardens there will also be family activities including music, a scarecrow trail, and refreshments.
Gemma Hindley, fundraising assistant at Dove House Hospice, said: “Open Gardens are hugely popular events that take place throughout Hull and East Yorkshire in aid of the hospice. We are incredibly grateful to all of our gardens that take part as they are helping to ensure the hospice can provide care for patients and their families within the local area.”
